Polyol[4] is designed exactly for this purpose, these are C libraries that should cover all sugar related low level routines, starting from getting sugar environment settings via full featured sugar GUI to high level stuff i.e. what sugar-toolkit does for python based activities. It is not yet finished (but already in some useful stage, I'm using it for C based GCompris and less for Tuxpaint) and contains only python binding for now. > [1] http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/0.88/Platform_Components > [2] https://api.sugarlabs.org/ > [3] > http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Development_Team/Low-level_Activity_API#X_Properties [4] http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Activity_Team/Polyol -- Aleksey ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel

I'd suggest starting by converting the code to use GTK instead of TK. Python-tk is not being installed on most systems running Sugar (see the Sugar Platform page [1] for a list of packages that should be available on all systems). Also with GTK it will be much easier to integrate into Sugar; you can use several GTK-based widgets made specifically for Sugar (the sugar.graphics submodules on [2]), in addition to the regular activity framework (sugar.activity) that I highly recommend to build on. It'll make Sugar integration much easier. It might be quite a bit of work to switch to GTK, but it'll pay off in the long run. AFAIK nobody has tried making a TK-based application yet and Sugar is still a bit peculiar about how it expects windows to appear. If you nevertheless decide to keep using TK, the low-level activity API page has some details [3] on what X11 properties need to be set to make Sugar recognize your window.
