In 3.1, tracing is now a screen attribute, not a turtle atribute.
I have no idea why

  tooter = turtle.Turtle()
  tooter.tracer(False)

doesn't give me an error (I thought silent errors were a bad thing).

What makes it an error? Do you consider the following an error?

class Test:
...     pass
...
t = Test()
t.tracer = 5


Perhaps you mean, it's an API change you didn't know about, and you wish to
protest that Turtle Graphics made an incompatible API change without
telling you?


It didn't form 2.5 to 2.6 (at least not intentionally). But with the indroduction of the TurtleScreen class and the Screen class/object (singleton) a few of the turtle methods were also implemented as screen methods and as turtle methods declared deprecated (see docs of Python 2.6). These deprecated turtle methods do not occur as turtle methods any more in Python 3.x.

Among them is the tracer method, which in fact does not control single turtle objects but all the turtles on a given screen.

So there is an icompatibility beween 2.6 and 3.x

But as far as I have understood, this doesn't concern the problem reported by mensator.

Naturally, having tracing on caused my program to crash.

It seg faulted or raised an exception?

How does diffsq get to be a mpf? Are gmpy floats supposed to be supported?
