OLPC Python Environment

OLPC Python Environment

Application developers on the OLPC will mostly be working with Python, the GTK GUI and the Gecko HTML engine. This combination is called Sugar.

This has been documented elsewhere on blogs and news sites such as this: http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20060524-6903.html

Some nice screenshots can be found here: http://www.eschoolnews.com/eti/2006/05/001414.php

If you are a developer with a machine running Fedora Core, then you can download the Sugar environment from here http://hg.fedoraproject.org/hg/olpc/applications/sugar--devel

If you want to develop an application on your own systems, you can download a standard Python install found at http://www.python.org and the PyGTK module from http://www.pygtk.org.
