So you mean that will at least last one more year? Not fine. I wonder if this xturtle.py is a Python feature. When Vern Ceder did his patch of turtle.py some weeks ago, there arouse a discussion if a PEP was necessary to change turtle.py and the general opinion in the discussion then was no. So I thought, that turtle-graphics is some marginal element in the Python standard distribution. (I thought something like features get defined in PEPs) Already now, only one week after publishing it I have some very positive feedback and people start to use it. So I think there is some demand for it. Moreover I think it could also help to convince more teachers to use Python as a first language. Could you imagine - downgrading it's 'featureness' - to put it into 2.5.1 or something like this? I'll have a talk at Europython 2006 on July 5th about xturtle - an opportunity if sombody feels it's worth discussing it.
