[Sugar-devel] Sugar Activities not working on Ubuntu

[James Cameron]

Agreed.

Saw similar on Ubuntu 15.10 last week; this was failing;

	import locale
	locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, '')

Documentation says it can fail.  If an activity or toolkit doesn't
handle failure, I think it needs to be fixed.
