I've just switched to Kahakai as my window manager, and I'm very happy with it -- except I would like to have a taskbar. That's where PyPanel comes in. It looks like exactly what I want.
This is a fresh install of Debian using the new Sarge installer.
I have a feeling I'm missing some development tool that I need, or something, but I can't quite figure out what the problem is.
This is what I get when I try to install it:

I've tried running it as a regular user, and as root.. and I've got Python and Python-xlib like it wants.
So looking at this output it looks like you need the libxft-dev, libxpm-dev, x-dev and libx11-dev packages. You should use apt-file update before the first time you use it for the day to get the updated package list on the mirrors that have them not all do however.
Hmm, I got the packages you recommended (and apt-file), tried to install again. We're getting warmer, but this is what I get this time:

Now, if I were to use apt-file to check this out, what command would I use? Does it check the setup.py file, or would I have to have it look at the actual C file that I am having trouble compiling?
That is problems with the code itself you are going to need to go to the website and see if there is a bugzilla, mailing list or something like that to see if it is a known bug or you can as you say have a look yourself if you know anything about the code and see if you can fix it.

Just to see if it would make a difference, I tried installing PyPanel 1.2 and got the same error.
Just out of curiousity, since I've seen lots of screenshots of PyPanel working and haven't found any messages/pages that talk about it not working.. What type of problem with the source code could cause it to compile fine on other systems but not on mine?
I just installed pypanel on a debian machine today. I'm not sure if you need ALL these, but try installing the following using apt. It is likely one of them that you are missing:
