[New-bugs-announce] [issue29560] Turtle graphics fill behavior differs between versions

[John Simmons]

New submission from John Simmons:

When I run the demo program on the library 24.1 documentation page to draw the star, it colors the entire star yellow, not just the parts that are show yellow on the page.  This appears to be a behavior change.  This is running on a Windows 7 or 10 machine with Python 3.2, 3.5, or 3.6.

I have not tried this program at home, but when I run a similar program that draws and then fills 10 overlapping circles, my Linux Mint 17.3 computer at home, running IDLE in Python 3.4, fills the "interior" points inside and odd number of circles but does not fill the "exterior" points inside an even number of circles.  This appears to be the behavior shown on documentation page 24.1.  I would like to know what is intended to be the correct behavior and why the implementations differ.
