Make cool illustrated help file.

See Andre LeBlanc's first e-mail.

I may get roasted for this comment, but i think a turtle module
along the lines of what you have here would better serve the stdlib.
The current implementation is great, but the whole purpose of turtle
is to help children or non-programmers get a feel of the language in a
very, very, simple and fun way. Your app is presented in much the same
way as any over-the-counter windows app any non-programmer has seen
before making them feel a little more comfortable.

[warning wild speculations ahead!!]
I just guessing here, but i'll bet many of these noobs have found
the current turtle just a wee-bit more advanced than they can handle,
and some have been scared off. I would also venture to say a key-map
of sorts that is available thru the help menu where one could push an
"Up" button, or a "rotate" button, and have the proper command
inserted in the prompt, and then have the command execute, may also
help make the connections here, a sort of real Visual Basic
programming -- sorry Microsoft :P

I was getting error messages in some computers: Solve them.

Maybe optionally?

Greetings,

Please make it possible to copy the example coding and change and execute

Cheers, Kishore.

Need to make an icon. Then make py2exe associate it with the executable:
http://www.py2exe.org/index.cgi/CustomIcons
In this link there are also instructions for making wxPython show the icon inside the program.

Tzion needs to mail me the turtle image so I can do this.

From http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/9733s/pythonturtle_the_lowestthreshold_way_to_learn/c0bntw4 :

It took some jiggering but I got it running. After installing wx I tried to run it and it couldn't find psyco. I easy_installed psyco but it still wouldn't go. No problem, I just commented out the psyco import ... and it launched.

But when i submit commands to move the turtle the screen doesn't refresh. The output spits out this error repeatedly (about ones every 0.25 seconds or so):

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/downloads/cool-RR-PythonTurtle-6e1655072c2ef1825456697fac58702738fe01f9/src/turtlewidget.py", line 84, in on_idle
if self.turtle_queue.qsize()>0: self.Refresh()
File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/multiprocessing/queues.py", line 113, in qsize
return self._maxsize - self._sem._semlock._get_value()
NotImplementedError

If I go to the help screen and then back to the command screen - it draws the updated screen.
