Description

For non-python activities, a generic factory service that spawns activity instances as separate processes is useful. One such service is included in the etoys activity, but it actually does not contain any squeak-specific code. It would make sense to move it to sugar for potential use by more activities.

The code is in git: factory-service.c

For example usage, see activity.info which employs the etoys-factory and etoys-instance scripts for customization.

Seems like we should be able to spawn other things than Python into a container for execution.

The security service can launch anything into a container by design.

Err, the point of this ticket was just to move the factory-service from Etoys to Sugar because it is generic. No idea why security got into the discussion, or why we could not do that immediately (that is, for Trial-2).

This is in sugar for a while now, renamed to sugar-native-factory.
