it seems kdebase-workspace-python-applet is not installed on your machine.
could you please install this package and try again?

thanks

Comment 4 Than Ngo 2010-05-12 10:08:01 UTC

i even tested the hello-python from
 http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Plasma/Python/GettingStarted
it works fine for me after kdebase-workspace-python-applet is installed

Comment 5 Henry Stilmack 2010-05-12 18:47:32 UTC

Still no joy after installing kdebase-workspace-python-applet. The hello-python applet gives this (I followed the tutorial exactly and installed the applet with plasmapkg:

plasmoidviewer hello-python

Unknown widget popup, with the following:
"This object could not be created for the following reason: Could not find requested component: hello-python"

kdebugdialog gives the following info:
