Using Caffeine on Debian

[Brad Smith]

I was e-mailed by someone that wanted to use Caffeine on Debian, which
uses Python 2.5 by default. I proposed the following to make Caffeine
work, and I'm sending this to the list just to make it available for
future reference:

What about something like "/usr/bin/python2.6"? If that runs the 2.6
version of Python, then just change the first line of "bin/caffeine"
from:
#!/usr/bin/env python
to:
#!/usr/bin/python2.6

That might do the trick.

The user reported that this seemed to allow them to run Caffeine on Debian.

Running Debian Squeeze and GNOME 2; I tried changing the line, and got this error:

[~/Downloads/recipe-2.4.1+419] $ ./bin/caffeine 

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "./bin/caffeine", line 40, in <module>

Hey,

just got it running on wheezy by installing gir1.2-notify-0.7, it's also in the squeeze repositories. Hope that helped.

Good Luck!
