Yes, this works.  Nice trick - did not think of it.

I don't use idle, but someone should test that this works when turtle
is used by idle.  It works fine when I start idle from command line
(in which case idle itself pops under the terminal), but I understand
that most users start idle from Finder or the Dock and I don't have
that set up.

A nit-pick: in the current turtle code module imports and from module
imports are visually separated.   Consider moving "import sys" below
"import inspect".
