The Turtle example for the cmd module as documented at

http://docs.python.org/py3k/library/cmd.html#cmd-example

In the left() method, it calls turtle.right() instead of turtle.left().  Easy fix: /def left/+2s/left/right/

Likely exists in most 3.x documentation.

(duh, sorry, that's the "do_left" method, not the "left" method)

I see the status changed to needs-patch.  what do I patch against?

3.2. Any patch should trivially port to 3.3 and 2.7

Fixed, thanks for the report and the patch!
2.7 doesn't have the example, so there's nothing to fix there.
