Python and Turtle Graphics

[Brent W. Hughes]

If the Turtle gets himself into a large (or infinite) loop, is there any way
to stop him other than Ctrl-Alt-Del?

You could try using a flamingo, but I think that works best with
hedgehogs...

An interesting property of all three of these animals is that shouting
'Ctrl-C' at them causes them to stop in their tracks.

Unless of course, any of the animals are looking rather Qt on a given
day. Then they'll only acknowledge that you shouted 'Ctrl-C' when you
either close them in a cage or forcefully kill them.

Depends on how you are interacting with your turtle.

From the interactive interpreter, you could use Ctrl-C.

Also, you might want to try the turtle ..er penguin
graphics module in pygsear:

With that one you can use the Esc key to
break from a loop.
