adesklets errors

getting these errors with asdesklets -- weatherforecast:

[9] sero:~/programs/weatherforecast-0.2.0 $ ./weatherforecast.py 
Do you want to (r)egister this desklet or to (t)est it? t
Now testing...
============================================================
If you do not see anything (or just an initial flicker
in the top left corner of your screen), try `--help',
and see the FAQ: `info adesklets'.

running --help for either one gives no info:

Possible options are:

when it installed, there was a conflict with a python file (forget which one, it was late last night), so i used the -f option. :oops: :shock: i guess the problem is related to that, but maybe not? everything else seems to be working fine (so far ).

Re: adesklets errors

removed and reinstalled python, now the weather desklet works.

the newsreader needed the feedparser python module (as it stated ), so once i actually read the error message and installed the feedparser that solved that part. now it's crashing on launch with messages about the python events_handler.py like the weather desklet did before, so i think i should just ask the developer if he knows what's going on with that.

is anyone using the desklets newsreader in arch without problems? are there any other good desktop news aggregators in arch?
