Practice my packaging skills, attached you can find a deb and the source packages. it should also create an icon in the menu for you ;-)

Thanks for the package but something is wrong in it. It created a "search" folder in my kubuntu desktop with the yahoo api. It also installs the yahoo module in python's path. That's problematic because people might have other versions of python. It is enough for the program to have the yahoo folder in the same directory. There is no need to insert the modules into python unless you plan to develop with them.

This small python apps generally don't need much packaging. Thanks for your efforts, anyway.

No but you should always package you applications with the intent that they'll be installed in some form. some of the most annoying tools I know have been poorly packaged scripts.

As for your modules, well I would have given them a better name, class space is precious and stomping over someone elses libs locally or system wide is not a good thing. perhaps renaming yahoo to the name of your application, then they can be installed correctly or run from the directory without risk.

Besides my hope was that you didn't know how to package it and would take the example.
