If you see the sugar-activity-factory exit with error code 1, your
python file has a syntax error or some other problem that stops python
from loading it initially.  This could be:

1) bad imports somewhere in global scope (like at the top)
2) a syntax error
3) you mixed tabs and spaces
4) your activity __init__ routine has an error

Try to comment stuff out until something works.
