PythonTurtle is an educational library for Python programming that aims to teach the basics of programming and computational thinking via a fun, visual approach using a virtual 'turtle' that can draw intricate shapes and designs. The Turtle module in Python is derived from the original Turtle graphics from Logo programming language, introduced in the late 1960s.
