"""Learning time.
==============
Sugar was missing a simple clock for kids to learn how to
read time, but more importantly to know what time is is. When you
don't own a clock, Sugar can be used to display the time to
arrive in time at school...
A clock can also be used to learn how to count and read numbers.

Display and behavior can be changed with the buttons in the toolbar:
- A simple clock with hours figures to learn to tell the time.
- A nice clock face, without hours numbers.
- A digital clock with a time scale.
Also, the clock can print the current time in full letters. Or speak
it aloud.

To help learning the time, all the clocks displays use a consistent
color code:
- Hours         blue: #005FE4
- Minutes       green: #00B20D
- Seconds       red: #E6000A
- Days          dark red: #B20008
- Months        purple: #5E008C
- Years         brown: #9A5200


An analog clock is also very helpfull to determine where the North is when you
don't have a compass!
Check http://www.wikihow.com/Find-True-North-Without-a-Compass
And knowing where the True North is, you can build a Sun Clock!

# We initialize threading in GObject. As we will detach another thread
# to translate the time to text, this other thread will eventually
# update the display with idle_add() calls, because it is not running
# in the main event thread. But idle_add() puts a callback in the
# message queue with the lowest priority. When the nice clock is
# displayed, it can spend a few seconds (20 to 30 is common) before
# the GTK loop will process this low priority message. When we enable
# the threads, the processing is almost instantaneous.
