The profile package can be used to get access to user specific details such as his/her nick_name, XO colors, public key, etc. Much of these details are accessed by first creating a Profile object. However, there are several shortcut helper functions that provide access to some user details directly.

= Helper Functions =

=== How do I get the user's nick name? ===
<pre>
from sugar import profile
...
#prof will refer to a Profile object used to access user information
prof = profile.get_profile()

# Two ways to print nickname: either through profile object, or through a helper funciton in sugar.profile
print prof.nick_name
print profile.get_nick_name()
</pre>

=== How do I get the XO colors set by the user? ===
<pre>
from sugar import profile
...
#prof will refer to a Profile object used to access user information
prof = profile.get_profile()

# Two ways to get the XO colors: through profile object or using helper function
print prof.color.to_string()
print profile.get_color().to_string()
</pre>

=== How do I access this XO's public key? ===
<pre>
from sugar import profile
...
#prof will refer to a Profile object used to access user information
prof = profile.get_profile()

#Two ways to get the public key for this XO: through Profile object or with helper function
print prof.pubkey
print profile.get_pubkey()
</pre>

= Class: Profile =

=== How do I get the nick name, color and public key information for this XO? ===

=== How do I get the school server with which this child is associated? ===

prof = profile.get_profile()

#Print out the name of the school server this XO is registered with
print prof.jabber_server
#Print out whether this XO is actually registered with a school server
print prof.jabber_registered
</pre>
