I would like to report a conclusion reached on the tracker to a wider audience before committing the changes. The new home for Demo/turtle is Lib/turtledemo. (Lib/turtle/demo alternative received no support and Lib/demo/turtle was not even in the running.)

If anyone is interested in reviewing the patch, please see http://bugs.python.org/issue10199. Note that I tried to limit changes to what was necessary for running the demo script as python -m demoturtle. Running the scripts as unit tests and from python prompt will be subject of a separate issue.

The one demo that I want to find a better place for is Demo/turtle.

Sure, go for it. It is a special case because the turtle module is also in the stdlib and these are intended for a particular novice audience. Please see http://bugs.python.org/issue10199 for further discussion.
