To clarify, there is an "ARC" command in Logo that draws a circle/circle segment centered on the turtle. Reference: http://fmslogo.sourceforge.net/manual/command-arc.html Examples: https://personal.utdallas.edu/~veerasam/logo/ That command is not/has not been implemented in Python's turtle graphics. As Eric mentioned, it could be considered a benefit as the principle of turtle graphics is that turtles have no arms to move the pen away from their body (adolescent abnormal assassin turtles, notwithstanding).
