Then issues ocurred with gwebsockets. It persistently tried to use
python3.3, my system's default, instead of python2.7. Finally I
found the culprit, in
./out/sandbox/install/lib/python2.7/site-packages/osbuild/build.py I
replaced in line 190 one instance of "python" for "python2.7" and it
worked after that.<br>
<br>
Finally when building sugar-base I had to set up the environment
variable PYTHON=/usr/bin/python2.7 in order for it to build.<br>
Also, when building sugar, I had to manually create the directory
"./out/install/etc/gconf/" or it would fail to install<br>

But it is compatible with best practices suggested by the python documentation. So I think we should follow those practices in sugar-base (i.e. explicitly require python2), which will take care of this issue. We are already doing that in the gtk3 modules.<br>
