@walter

Thanks walter for the clarification.
Source file can be viewed directly from pippy and user can add their tools
from there.
No need of copy-to-jornal now.

@Benjamin

Thanks Benjamin for the guidelines.
Will help me alot.

I''ll try to implement same by both the methods.(pippy one and Benjamin's
approach).
Now, we need to provide user a simple interface to upload the code.

Is their any way that in paint activity only, a tab(button) should be
inserted which when clicked will take user directly to desenho.py (inside
pippy activity)...such that user will simply add his/her tool(code) over
their.

Guide me if i am wrong.
(I am new to sugar actually,that why clearing my concepts here).

Thanks a lot for your help.
(And waiting for your reply)
