Save turtle state?

Allen

I'm using the turtle module in Python. Is there a way to save the turle
state at any moment for recursive algorithms to easily return the turtle
to an earlier point for another branch/etc?

Just copying the turtle seems to work:

import turtle
from copy import copy
def rec(t, n):
t.forward(n)
n = (n*4)/5
u = copy(t)
u.color("red")
u.right(45)
if n 10:
rec(u, n)

def main():
t = turtle.Turtle()
t.color("green")
for i in range(12):
t.left(30)
rec(t, 50)

main()
raw_input()
