Hi, I am trying to add a python script to Conky. I used ConkyWizard to set up my Conky configuration. I am trying to install http://code.google.com/p/lyricsdownloader/downloads/detail?name=conkybanshee.py ConkyBanshee, a script that shows what music is currently playing. I have added a title "Now Playing" and under that I would like the script to be run (see screenshot below). Any help would be appreciated. :)

Hi Arcanist,
you can use execpi http://conky.sourceforge.net/variables.html
example:
{execpi 10 conkyBanshee --template=/home/username/.Conky/conkyBanshee.template}
10 is the interval conkyBanshee is executed.

Thanks! :)
After figuring out where to put the code I managed to get it working. After that, I had to change some settings so the text wouldn't go out of the window.
Thanks again, Arcanist.
