[Sugar-devel] getting the Sugar Toolkit working with python 3

[James Cameron]

What ppa?  I don't know of any ppa.  Perhaps you mean the Ubuntu
package archive?

The Python 3 package name will be python3-sugar3 once Ubuntu accepts it.
Unlikely to happen unless someone wants it.

The Python 2 package name is python-sugar3, and you can see the
version history in Ubuntu here;

https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=python-sugar3

0.112 was packaged in Ubuntu 18.04 and 19.04.

Ubuntu take these packages from Debian.  Debian is yet to move
python3-sugar3 from experimental to testing release;

https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=python3-sugar3

I've proposed a "Debian advocacy for Sugar" project idea for Google
Summer of Code this year;

So I went to https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar-toolkit-gtk3 and installed it using apt install, like it is mentioned in the readme. But whenever I open python3 and try import sugar3, it gives me a ModuleNotFoundError.
