[Sugar-devel] no module named sugar.activity.activity

[Tony Anderson]

It is sad that these developers do not have access to Sugar installed on 
an XO. The process of upgrading from GTK2 to GTK3 is simple and 
practical. The original version of the activity can be run directly. The 
new version can be installed in parallel. As changes are made they can 
be directly tested. Then the GTK3 version can be uploaded to GitHub.
