Can you please confirm that you didn't need to install a Python
Wikipedia package to be able to run Sugar? It's important, because so
far you have said you did need to install it, and as far as I can see
you didn't need to. I don't want people to think it is necessary.
Sorry, but nobody is available to guide you through the basic issues.
When you subscribed to the mailing list today, I sent to you the "How
to get started as a Sugar Labs developer [v8]"
http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/sugar-devel/2019-November/057323.html
which has a prepared answer to your question in the section "How to
ask for directions?". Please read that.
Yes, JavaScript/HTML5/CSS is an appropriate choice if you'd like to
work on Music Blocks or Sugarizer. For other programming languages we
use, see our list;
