[Sugar-devel] Problem importing hulahop.webview() in sugar emulator

[vijit singh]

Hello Tomeu,

I tried installing hulahop again as you suggested on fedora-11 and it got
installed properly. Now, the socialcalc and the browse activity are running
as well. Thank you for your guidance.

Also wished to discuss that we are planning to port SocialCalc on various
linux distros starting from Fedora. The first approach which we are
considering is by using a pygtk based root-level window to embed
hulahop.webview widget in quite a similar fashion as it has been done in
Sugar currently. Do you think it would be a feasible approach? Is there any
other approach which you suggest would be better? Kindly give some pointers
on the issue.

Regards,
VIJIT
