Turtle Graphics are incompatible with gmpy

More info.

Yes, there is no tracer attribute...when the object is created.

But watch this (Python 3.1):

>>> import turtle
>>> tooter = turtle.Turtle()
>>> tooter.tracer
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#2>", line 1, in <module>
    tooter.tracer
AttributeError: 'Turtle' object has no attribute 'tracer'
>>> tooter.hideturtle()
>>> tooter.speed('fast')
>>> turtle.update()
>>> turtle.tracer
<function tracer at 0x013E0ED0>

Now, after setting hide, speed, update, a tracer exists.
Is that supposed to happen? That explains why there was no error
when I set the turtle attribute instead of the screen attribute.
And, of course, setting the turtle attribute accomplishes nothing,
as actual tracing is controlled by the screen attribute as you say.

Only that the problem is hidden when tracing is off, as the nhops
variable is never evaluated when trace is off.
