How do I run it?  I've made a debian package, but do not remember how
to start the standalone version.

When I try to install my first draft package of version 46, I get this
message:

Compiling /usr/share/sugar/activities/TurtleArt.activity/tamyblock.py ...

The """-style of disabling code blocks do not seem to work with the
version of python I got in my sid chroot.  What version of python are
you using?  I seem to be using version 2.5.4-2.

Happy hacking,
