Laurent,<div><br></div><div>This may be an issue with sweets. If you are using Fedora then all you really need to do is to install the Sugar RPM's that come with the distribution. Other distributions should have something similar. The module sugar.activity is a set of Python classes. It should be available to anyone developing Python code, whether Sugar is running or not. It is a fundamental library. You can't make a Sugar Activity without it.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I don't know what "Sweets" is doing, but if I was in your position I'd uninstall it and install the Sugar that comes with the distribution. Fedora does a very good job packaging Sugar. Their version of Sugar is actually newer than most kids use in the field. If your goal is to develop Activities there is no reason to use anything else. If you want to hack on the Sugar environment itself you would need something newer, but I'd do Activities first. New or improved Activities will have a more immediate benefit to more students than working on Sugar itself, and you'll understand how to hack Sugar better if you've developed Activities first.</div>
<div><br></div><div>There is a chapter on setting up a development environment in the book. If you skipped over it give it another look.</div><div><br></div><div>James Simmons</div><div><br></div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote">

When you launch this Sugar comes up in a window. So you have your GNOME desktop where you do your development work, plus you have this window that contains a Sugar environment that you use for testing.</div>
<div><br></div><div>You run setup.py dev from a normal terminal window, not the one that Sugar provides. This creates a symbolic link between your source directory and where Sugar wants your program to be. After that any changes you make in your source directory will be reflected in what runs under Sugar. You'll probably need to stop and restart your Activity to see your changes take effect.</div>
