Just tried it, congratulations on the fine work!

I wouldn't access directly the fs to check for available activities.
There's already code in the shell that deals with this:

http://git.sugarlabs.org/projects/sugar/repos/mainline/blobs/master/src/jarabe/model/bundleregistry.py

There's also code for updating, installing, etc.

Will be awesome to have the updater working on 0.86, but note that
sugar-update-control isn't part of Sugar as of yet. See about new
module proposals here:

http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Development_Team/Release
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Development_Team/Release/Roadmap

One of the consequences of this is that distro packagers will need to
be prompted specifically about packaging sugar-update-control until it
is part of Glucose.
