[sugar] Shell redesign status

Hey Tomeu, seems like you are doing great progresses on the shell redesign! Can you update me on the status? Are we far from a no regression state? I should have time tomorrow to review it, if it's ready to be. Marco ___ Sugar mailing list Sugar@lists.

Re: [sugar] Database Activity

The current Python installations use ascii as the default encoding. The new Python (Python 3?) will switch the default to UTF-8. What to do to test if the problem is this? Go to /etc/python2.5/site.py and find the function setencoding(). Change the value from "ascii" to "utf-8". Try again your te

This will be my last post on this topic until I learn a bit more. It appears that pysqlite has some data integrity issues. Interesting link to pysqlite "bug" discussion: http://osdir.com/ml/python.db.pysqlite.user/2006-04/msg00020.html --- "I have built sqlite databases containing utf-8 encod

[sugar] Database Activity

Ok, now that I have recovered from dyslexia, I find that I can access my database through pysqlite from Pippy. I wrote a little Pippy program to select various rows and it goes just fine. I can confidently take it to the next level. Except. Norwegian requires Å, Ø, and Æ (lower case also). So,

[sugar] A Hello World that does it all?

Is there a "Hello World" python example that includes all of the basic XO/Sugar necessities, i.e., journalling, building, file storage, whatever? I am assuming that there are two ways to go with python at this point, OLPCGames and OLPCGTK. Is this right or are there other options? Thanks. Ken

I am starting a Norwegian-English dictionary activity. I have created a 4000 row SQLite database from a resource I built on my Clie and Treo over several years. It is now on the XO's SD card. I can access it nicely with SQLite in a terminal session. I am ready to do some Python to create some s
