I'm using Turtle Art as an intermediate step. I have a Turtle Art
program to put up a pair of axes, with one programmable tile for a
Python expression for the function to graph. We have a TA to Logo
translation, and we could build a TA to Python translation. Or we
could show the students how to copy and paste the Python for the tiles
in the TA program to make a Python program, again with a replaceable
function.
