[Sugar-devel] A problem of "No module named..." when trying to run an activity which uses GTK

[James Cameron]

Thanks.  No, I'm not running the activity from the Terminal.  I'm
running it the way a child learner would run it; from the Home View.
If you're not familiar with the user experience of Sugar, please read
through our documentation;

https://help.sugarlabs.org/en/sugar_ui.html
https://help.sugarlabs.org/en/home_view.html

How did you fall into this trap; is there some other documentation we
need to change?  Let us know!

When I said "I'm not sure if the activity was finished before it was
added to the Wiki" I'm suggesting that the activity was not finished,
and so you are having to fix problems because the original developers
did not complete their work.  You used the Wiki to find the activity,
and so you may have found an unfinished activity.  Very brave!

Regarding the "Create a new set of activities" idea, you should
research to appreciate the breadth and scope of the existing
activities so that you can avoid suggesting an activity we might
already have.
