Turtle context managers for fill, poly and tracer #126349
Description
Feature or enhancement
Proposal:
When I taught Python with Turtle, I always had to find other examples when I got to context managers. This is a shame, as there are several places in the Turtle module where context managers make sense. The most obvious places (in my opinion) are:
turtle.begin_fill()/turtle.end_fill()turtle.begin_poly()/turtle.end_poly()turtle.tracer(0)/turtle.tracer(1)(disable animations)
@MarieRoald and I plan to submit a PR about this shortly
Has this already been discussed elsewhere?
I have already discussed this feature proposal on Discourse
