PyPanel doesn't work...

I've installed PyPanel and i did the "Pre-Configuration Fixes" as it says here.
and this is what i get when i try to start it:

[yogev@archlinux ~]$ pypanel
/usr/bin/pypanel:892: RuntimeWarning: Python C API version mismatch for module ppmodule: This Python has API version 1013, module ppmodule has version 1012.
  from ppmodule import ppinit, ppshade, ppicon, ppfont, ppfontsize, ppclear

Failed to open ~/.pypanelrc -

name 'above' is not defined

Any ideas?

Thanks advanced!

Re: PyPanel doesn't work...

Are you using python 2.4 or 2.5 to start it?
looks like 2.5.
Should still be 2.4 if I remember correctly.

Re: PyPanel doesn't work...

First. you need to install this package:

pacman -Sy python24

Then try running pypanel like this:

python2.4 /usr/bin/pypanel

It should work.  That's what you would need to put in your .xinitrc, just add a "&" at the end to send it to the background.

You could try this:

But other than that, I don't know.  The fix I gave you is what worked for me.

Re: PyPanel doesn't work...

I fixed mine a few weeks ago by using python 2.4 too. I'd suggest maybe trying

pacman -R python24 pypanel
pacman -Scc
pacman -S python24 pypanel

Though maybe you might want to try turfing and readding pypanel's dependancies while you're at it since I'm not sure exactly where that error is coming from.
