The wxasync package may be a puzzle piece to solve this issue. Reference: Async/await for wxPython (blog post by Andy Bulka) |

And he's back! :)

This is maybe the most critical UX issue at the moment. |

Lengthy operations can't be interrupted in PythonTurtle, as of today. This proves to be a huge problem (which is also related to #24).
User interface becomes unresponsive
Especially with loops, and worse, nested loops, users are quickly tempted to use large numbers (for ranges), which creates an unlucky situation at best (when having to wait for a few minutes) or the need to kill the application, e.g., for nested loops (when an operation of O(n²) or more was triggered).
Expected behavior
It should be possible to interrupt the calculations (e.g. by pressing
<Ctrl>+Cand/or the<Esc>key).It should be easy to interrupt the turtle and return to the interpreter prompt.
