IDLE and turtle

[dbrown2 at yahoo.com]

I typically use IDLE for editing and debug.  On Windows at least, IDLE
and the standard turtle graphics module do not mix.  I think both use
Tkinter.

For now I use IPython and Jedit when using the turtle module but it's
not a great solution for me.  Is there any known work-around to use
turtle with IDLE?  If not is there a planned fix for the problem.  I
find turtle is a convenient way to do simple graphics without having
to install external modules or deal with event handlers or windowing
details.
