The Tortuga module has the same functionality as

You can test it out by running "pip install tortuga"

Since Python 2 doesn't have simpledialog, I used the PyMsgBox pure-python
module for the input boxes. This code is small enough that it could be
added into turtle.py. (It's just used for simple tkinter dialog boxes.)

This file can be easily adapted to support multiple programming languages.

Thoughts? Suggestions?
