[Sugar-devel] Toolkit Installation Sugar v0.113

[ANIKET MATHUR]

Regards,
I agree with, James. What I think is that since this pr
<https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar/pull/805> is not yet merged into
master, sugar requires python 2,
and the way I was installing Sugar builds the toolkit for Python 3. So I
first installed Sugar from sucrose and then installed the toolkit-gtk3
v0.113 by hand.
Doing this I am able to test ported activities through the command line
using Ubuntu 18.04 terminal, but opening Sugar home view causes
"Segmentation fault" with a warning "python2.7 has stopped unexpectedly". I
am not yet able to figure out the reason for this.

Regarding the Python version in configure.ac, I think that the caller
should be allowed to specify the version or alternatively since we are
porting to six, a method building for both python2 and python3 would be
great.

I don't expect myself to be 100 percent right and expect to be corrected
wherever required.

Thanks a lot, everyone. ☺
