Hi Kevin, thanks so much for replying.

I copied the contents of that package over the /mnt/onboard/.python folder (that was created by installing your weather package), and it's definitely got me further.

Running my test script (which interpolates print statements between the first half-dozen lines of weather.py) now gets as far as the second one, i.e. it succesfully executes "import urllib2", which it previously dies on. Although it still dies on "import pygame, os".

But first things first - before getting that far, it reports two errors. Same thing occurs going to shell:

[root@(none) koboWeather]# python

Can you point me in the right direction (apologies, I'm a Python noob as well as a Kobo noob).

Thanks for all you help,
