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

Thanks, moving the sugar3 directory from /usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ to /usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/ did the trick.

Not without knowing why the files are not found by Python.  Please
diagnose that.

See also
https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar/blob/master/docs/development-environment.md
and in particular the note about how Debian and Ubuntu systems are
preconfigured not to discover any Python package installed by the
user, because the files are installed to site-packages instead of
dist-packages.

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.
