[solved] pypanel does not start

HI,

I installed pypanel with pacman. When I try to start it I get this

[michael@acer01 ~]$ 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 -

[Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pypanel/pypanelrc'

[michael@acer01 ~]$ pacman -Ql pypanel
pypanel /usr/bin/pypanel
pypanel /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ppmodule.so
pypanel /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pypanel/COPYING
pypanel /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pypanel/README
pypanel /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pypanel/ppicon.png
pypanel /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pypanel/pypanelrc
[michael@acer01 ~]$

Seems that pypanel searches in /usr/lib/python2.5 but it's installed in /usr/lib/python2.5.
How can I solve this?

Copy /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pypanel/pypanelrc to ~/.pypanelrc.  You'll want to edit it anyway.

Re: [solved] pypanel does not start

And what's about the RuntimeWarning?

Re: [solved] pypanel does not start

And what's about the RuntimeWarning?

It can be safely ignored.  I get them all the time in many different arch python packages, without problems.

Recompiling it won't fix the warning either, so don't bother trying.
