The sugar.activity.activity package includes several important classes that are needed to run a basic activity.

Class: Activity

How do I create a new activity that is derived from the base Activity class?

All activities must implement a class derived from the 'Activity' 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.

from sugar.activity import activity
...
class ToolbarExample(activity.Activity):

    def __init__(self, handle):
        activity.Activity.__init__(self, handle)
