  • easy command-line install
  • file-by-file instructions from a root shell
  • install via the web browser

GTK and SDL

Not every app performs tolerably OK in Python. Some of us use C with GTK. Some of us use C with SDL. There should be "hello world" examples for these as well.

Critique

  • The word activity seems highly overloaded/overused; e.g. three different uses in "hello.activity/activity/activity.info". Is it too late to shorten this? Do we really need this much structure and repetition? Similar for the sugar package structure; there's a toplevel package sugar with a subpackage named activity which itself contains a module named activity (and I think that defines a class Activity :-). I'm worried that this is going to cause confusion and hard-to-debug bugs where in a particular context it's hard to guess what the name 'activity' refers to. --Guido van Rossum

Image for Emulation Environment

  • Which image should we be using to performance the helloworld exercise. I tried the livecd_sdk image with vmware and it didn't work.
