 Replying to [comment:2 bert]:
 > What does setup.py do? The only thing you need to do to install the
 Etoys activity is unpack the bundle in the right place.

 > I searched the Sugarlabs wiki but it only mentioned that setup.py is
 used for some tasks in Python activities.
 btw, thats a standard way to bundle activity(if activity has already
 installed) and install it(in distro meaning) :)

 > You should probably fix jhconvert to not rely on setup.py.
 it should complicate process a bit - the only one activity that doesn't
 have setup.py is sugar-etoys

 > If that's too hard, point me to a spec (preferably on a semi-official
 Sugarlabs site) and I'll see what I can do.
 well, its not distro specific stuff but sugar itself
 see simple patch which I use
