All my time of working with python, the turtle module was something I didn't have much time for. Today someone asked me if a turtle session can be saved (ie. After doodling ). "Ehh... I can't remember ever saving one. But I'll ge back to you " I said.

so for instance I have:


>>> import turtle
>>> turtle.color('blue', 'black')
>>> def cir(rnge):
. . . . . . for i in range(rnge):
. . . . . . . . . turtle.right(1)
. . . . . . . . . turtle.forward(1)

>>> begin_fill()
>>> cir(360)
>>> end_fill()
>>> """
So now, after the turtle finish to mumu himself, Is there any way of saving the canvas?


I wonder if this may involve tkinter.

Well, I don't know exactly how it will be written in Python,
But you can do it this way:
Save the current state and movement details in a file, then load the info from that file anytime the program is opened. And remember to update the state afterwards

You want to save the code to a file, not session. Seems you typed the code in Shell mode.

Open your Idle Ide in Script/Editor mode. Type the code in a file and save it. Then run it.

On mobile now. Will find time to write a sample code when I'm back on PC.

Thank you all. but I mean... saving the canvas as a picture.

I don't think any thing like that is on the python doc, but, since it uses a tkinter canvas, I want to believe something a bit official / unofficial can be done. At least I learnt programming is not all about obeying the rules. Thanks for cracking your head in advanced.

My bad, I get what you mean now. A screenshot is your best option, I guess.

But tkinter has a:

filename = PhotoImage( file = "example.gif" )
image = canvas.create_image(50, 50, anchor=NE, image=filename)


The above uses tkinter to create an image which can be an instance of BitMap also. And I discovered turtle uses the tkinter canvas. That means there is 'smoke' somewhere right?
