"""Base class for activities written in Python

This is currently the only definitive reference for what an 
activity must do to participate in the Sugar desktop.

   A Basic Activity

All activities must implement a class derived from 'Activity' in this class.
The convention is to call it ActivitynameActivity, but this is not required as
the activity.info file associated with your activity will tell the sugar-shell
which class to start.

For example the most minimal Activity: 

 
   from sugar.activity import activity
   
   class ReadActivity(activity.Activity):
        pass

To get a real, working activity, you will at least have to implement:
    __init__(), read_file() and write_file()

Aditionally, you will probably need a at least a Toolbar so you can have some
interesting buttons for the user, like for example 'exit activity'

See the methods of the Activity class below for more information on what you
will need for a real activity.

        0. Derive your Activity from this class:
                class MyActivity(activity.Activity):
                    ...
                    
        1. implement an __init__() method for your Activity class.
        
           Use your init method to create your own ActivityToolbar which will
           contain some standard buttons: 
                toolbox = activity.ActivityToolbox(self)
           
           Add extra Toolbars to your toolbox.
           
           You should setup Activity sharing here too.
           
           Finaly, your Activity may need some resources which you can claim
           here too.
           
           The __init__() method is also used to make the distinction between
           being resumed from the Journal, or starting with a blank document. 
           
        2. Implement read_file() and write_file()
           Most activities revolve around creating and storing Journal entries.
           For example, Write: You create a document, it is saved to the Journal
           and then later you resume working on the document.
           
           read_file() and write_file() will be called by sugar to tell your
           Activity that it should load or save the document the user is working
           on.
           
        3. Implement our Activity Toolbars.
           The Toolbars are added to your Activity in step 1 (the toolbox), but
           you need to implement them somewhere. Now is a good time.
           
           There are a number of standard Toolbars. The most basic one, the one
           your almost absolutely MUST have is the ActivityToolbar. Without
           this, you're not really making a proper Sugar Activity (which may be
           okay, but you should really stop and think about why not!) You do
           this with the ActivityToolbox(self) call in step 1. 
           
           Usually, you will also need the standard EditToolbar. This is the one
           which has the standard copy and paste buttons. You need to derive
           your own EditToolbar class from sugar.EditToolbar:
                class EditToolbar(activity.EditToolbar):
                    ...
                    
           See EditToolbar for the methods you should implement in your class.
           
           Finaly, your Activity will very likely need some activity specific
           buttons and options you can create your own toolbars by deriving a
           class from gtk.Toolbar:
                class MySpecialToolbar(gtk.Toolbar):
                    ...
                    
        4. Use your creativity. Make your Activity something special and share
           it with your friends!
           
    Read through the methods of the Activity class below, to learn more about
    how to make an Activity work. 
    
    Hint: A good and simple Activity to learn from is the Read activity. To
    create your own activity, you may want to copy it and use it as a template.
