Clearly there is some demand. > http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/ For the Python wnck module, or for screenlets? I'm afraid that technically I am well short of the ability to do either. I am more than willing to help anyone who elects to so, though. Incidentally (and this is addressed to Rod mainly), the ClearWeather module was broken. I had to hack it a bit to get it to work properly. It got confused over proxies, but since I am not unfamiliar with Python, that presented no difficulty.
