Can you please confirm that you didn't need to install a Python Wikipedia package to be able to run Sugar? It's important, because so far you have said you did need to install it, and as far as I can see you didn't need to. I don't want people to think it is necessary.
Sorry, but nobody is available to guide you through the basic issues. When you subscribed to the mailing list today, I sent to you the "How to get started as a Sugar Labs developer [v8]" http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/sugar-devel/2019-November/057323.html which has a prepared answer to your question in the section "How to ask for directions?". Please read that. Yes, JavaScript/HTML5/CSS is an appropriate choice if you'd like to work on Music Blocks or Sugarizer. For other programming languages we use, see our list; https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar-docs/blob/master/src/languages.md On Wed, Dec 11, 2019 at 02:08:04PM +0530, Naman Nimmo wrote: > Thanks, it worked out. > > As I told earlier that I know python & can understand the codebase after some > help.
