Ok I'm not sure if this is a bug but according to the following page if
Python is compiled 'to aggressively' then adesklets won't work.

http://adesklets.sourceforge.net/doc/en/Frequently-asked-questions.html

Would this be a bug?

I cannot run any Python-based desklet: I get garbage collection errors!
If you get errors similar to:

python: Modules/gcmodule.c:275: visit_decref: Assertion `gc->gc.gc_refs != 0' failed.
     Aborted

It means your installment of Python has a corrupted garbage collector;
it is often caused by incorrect or aggressive optimization during the
compilation. Just recompiling a stock python environment from
http://python.org/ usually solves this.

Since just testing the desklet causes that issue?

Cheers,

Marc
