It would be nice to have a continuation of the learning levels. This could be:

• More (and more fascinating) examples of things to draw using (and thus practicing) the techniques learned in levels 1-4
• More general programming techniques and paradigms (data types, classes, decorators, etc.)
• Fun and useful tricks you can do (only) with Python (e.g. rename and reuse a function, monkey patching)
• GUI programming with Tk and wxPython

Sources of Inspiration (to be expanded)

• The LibreLogo blog -- shows some fascinating drawings
• Examples on Using Python -- e.g. animated text banners in the console

   That'd be cool, yes. Of course, after there's a consistent build process that produces a Windows installer automatically.

   I stumbled across a sweet book on Ruby that has good storytelling and funny mentions of "Ruby's friends" (e.g. Django who has a snake pet called Python).

   This may also relate to #63 as for coming up with attractive images.

   Maybe it makes sense to collect information about efforts of other projects. Some that I stumble upon through my kids at school are:

   • xLogo (video, Swiss german, seems to be pushed by ETH Zurich)
   • TigerJython (seems similar to PythonTurtle)
   • Logo (the original inventors?)

   Any other projects we know? I'm sure there are plenty!

   Peter, why spend so much effort brainstorming about this before there's a Windows installer? What good are any improvements to PythonTurtle if it's not usable by 99% of the users?

   "Windows installer" is off-topic in the context of this issue; it's handled in #107. Let's discuss it there.
