Sugar: Soy Client

completed by: Michal Proszek

mentors: AJ Williams, Arc Riley, David Czech

If you just install PySoy, open a terminal, run Python 3 and import soy you'll get PySoy running with the standard X11 client in its own window. Obviously this doesn't fit with Sugar's GUI model.

Modify the X11 module found in libsoy/platforms/x11 to check an environmental variable LIBSOY_X11_WID for a window handle and, if found, attempt to use it as a windowid instead of opening a new window. This will be used to open PySoy in an embedded subwindow.
