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
