gDesklets "ImportError"


Hi folks,

Installing some gDesklet sensors and loving several of them. Glad I checked it out.

I'm just about satisfied that I've got all of them installed that I'd like, although I'll have to check into the system performance ones. Unfortunately, there's a fairly useful one that I can't seem to get to work: Calendar.

I'm using Sarge stable (not mixed), so gDesklets 0.33.1-2 is installed and I'm running Gnome 2.8.3. I installed a couple of new ones successfully, but the newest version of Calendar (0.21) exits wit errors. No problem, I'll use the version of Calendar that came with gDesklets 0.33.1-2, right? That would be version 0.2.5 (oddly enough it sits in the uncategorized folder instead of Date/Calendars). It gives fewer errors than version 0.21, but it still aborts with "Could not find Sensor 'Calendar'" and the following details:
Code:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/gdesklets/factory/SensorFactory.py", line 59, in create_sensor
    module = __import__(name)
  File "/usr/share/gdesklets/Sensors/Calendar/__init__.py", line 5, in ?
    from main import admin
ImportError: cannot import name admin
I don't know what the last line means, and I don't know any Python. Any suggestions would be most appreciated, since the gDesklets forums are down.

you have to install the calander sensor, download the calander desklet from the gDesklets website, and the archive should have everything you need

That's exactly what I tried first:

That means I downloaded and installed the Calendar sensor from the gDesklets website, and it successfully installed, but failed when I tried to add the desklet to my desktop. Furthermore, the version of the Calendar sensor that already comes with the version of gDesklets I installed using Debian also didn't work. (This older version of Calendar is the one that generated the error message I posted.)
