Conky Rhythmbox Python Script

[kaivalagi]

Hi all,

kaivalagi this script print this in python >= 2.7:

conkyRhythmbox.py", line 45
self.parser.add_option("-t", "--template", dest="template", type="string", metavar="FILE", help=u"define a template file to generate output in one call. A displayable item in the file is in the form [--datatype=TI]. The following are possible options within each item: --datatype,--ratingchar. Note that the short forms of the options are not currently supported! None of these options are applicable at command line when using templates.")

I think that optparse module is deprecated, more info in:
http://docs.python.org/library/optparse.html

I don't a python programmer.

Thanks for the great script !!!

I am using python v2.7.1...no issues here. Are you using an up-to-date script? I recall an issue in the past but can't remember if I fixed it or it was python 3.0 related issues...
