Python Plasmoid: Can't correctly install my own plasmoid.

I'm doing this tutorial: http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tut … ingStarted

With the tutorial code, a plasmoid named "hello-python", there are no problems. It is installed and runs.
However, when I change the name, say "pymoid", problems arise. After doing everything as the tutorial says, plasmapkg installs the zip ok, and the "pymoid" folder with the correct contents appears in "~/.kdemod4/share/apps/plasma/plasmoid/pymoid".

However, running "plasmoidviewer pymoid", brings up a window saying:

This object could not be created for the following reason:
Could not find requested component: pymoid

This is the message it gives when it can't find the named plasmoid. As if the installation (plasmapkg -i) didn't finish correcty, although there weren't any exceptions.

I know this is a long shot. Anyone has some tips for a solution. Very much thanks.

Re: Python Plasmoid: Can't correctly install my own plasmoid.

This is weird. After I deploy my plasmoid, plasmoidviewer can't start it. But I can find it in "Add Widgets", and it runs OK. After that plasmoidviewer can also run it.
