There has been a discussion on the OLPC-sur list about the need for a square root function in Turtle Art.

The .xo archive can be opened by relabeling it(for example) to a .zip file.
 
Within the archive you find the files to be edited, Python source files talogo.py and tasetup.py and the images directory images/en/numbers . Python source files can be edited with [http://www.python.org/ Python].

* Brian asked me to take over as the maintainer of the Python version of Turtle Art, so I needed to "add" my new files, then "commit" and "push" my patch:
 +
git-add images/*/numbers/sqrt.gif
   −
    defprim(lc,'sqrt', 1, lambda lc,x: sqrt(x))
+
  git-commit -a
* next: "commit" and "push" the patch
