Re: [Sugar-devel] Progress on getting sugar-runner working again
That's great. When you're happy with the changes, you can make a pull request.

Re: [Sugar-devel] Progress on getting sugar-runner working again
James, I didn't understand the purpose in forking before but now I do. A new fork with my changes in a branch is here: https://github.com/jdsimmons/sugar-runner/tree/python3 I updated the README with suggestions on how to test. I just tried: sugar-activity3 GetIABooksActivity.GetIABooksActivity and it worked. I had no idea it would. I haven't worked on Sugar Activities since 2014. After I wrote E-Book Enlightenment I went down a rabbit hole where I prepared lots of books for archive,org and Project Gutenberg, wrote and self published a memoir of my youth among the Hare Krishnas, figured out how to use LaTeX to bring public domain books back into print and self published a bunch of them until Amazon put a stop to it, and even started a novel. I would have stayed in that rabbit hole if a bright eight year old boy had not decided that he wanted an old computer running Linux I had intended to give to his older brothers. As for why I still want to get sugar-runner working, it is because it gives me the whole Sugar environment. After I use Get IA Books to download books I need to check the books out in the Journal and make sure they got in there OK and are readable. Activities using collaboration really need the whole environment working and making screenshots that look like what the Activity looks like on an XO laptop is easy with sugar-runner.

Fork the repository, push your branch to your fork, then create a pull request with details on how to try it out. Also, I'm curious, what does Sugar Runner get you that running "sugar-activity3" doesn't get you? ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
