I see a lot of python2.5's that I can get on installer but didn't go further in case it was a waste of time and space. Anyone know if what IS avaialble will suffice and if so which python versions do I need? Thanks.
This should work:

As root,
Code:
apt-get install python2.5 python2.5-hildon python2.5-gtk2
Then download the Maemochron .deb file and cd to the directory you downloaded it, then:

Code:
dpkg -i --force-depends <name of file>
Then, also as root, use your favorite text-editor to open /usr/bin/maemochron and change the first line to:

Code:
#!/usr/bin/python2.5
Note that while the Maemochron timer is activity running, CPU usage is pegged at 100%...also the Change Color dialog doesn't work. Python traceback says hildon.ColorSelector doesn't exist, and it is true. print dir(hildon) at the python prompt shows ColorChooser...
