emerging of 0.3 or 0.4 of desklet-scweather seems to be successful. However, the desklet does not work correctly and examination of the output during the emerge process reveals an error, on which the ebuild does not die. Failure is either <output> Fatal Python error: PyImport_GetModuleDict: no module dictionary! </output> or <output> Unhandled exception in thread started by Error in sys.excepthook: Original exception was: </output> I tracked it down to be related to line 163 in gdesklets eclass, which calls ${GDESKLETS_INST_DIR}/gdesklets-control-getid `pwd` throwing the error. I am not familiar with python so maybe someone has a clue?

Probably won't end up getting up fixed, as SideCandy is old and deprecated.
