2d graphics - drawing a vescica piscis in Python

[Terrence Brannon]

Hello, I have written a program to draw a vescica piscis <http://
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vesica_piscis>

from turtle import *

def main():
    setup(width=400, height=400)

    r = 50
    color("black")
    circle(r)
    color("white")
    forward(r)
    color("black")
    circle(r)
    x = raw_input('please enter a string:')

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()


... but I would like the following:

1 - I dont like how the bottom of the first circle is not complete
2 - I would like for the left circle to be filled with verticle lines
and the right circle to be filled with horizontal lines, so that the
vescica piscis is cross-hatched.

And finally, is turtle the "best" option for what I'm doing? pyCairo
looked a bit hard to get going with, but very powerful. sping looked a
bit alpha/beta.
