As stated in my overly descriptive subject line I am having trouble with certain widgets... specifically the ones that are like terminals like Plasmacon for instance .
The probem is they wont display ..only a box appears in the correct theme and with the words

This object could not be created for the following reason:
Could not create a python
ScriptEngine for the Plasmacon widget.


Thank you in advance for any time and effort given towards correcting this.

*Update found a dirty fix *
I installed the other scriptengine .. the ruby scriptengine so both the python and ruby ones are installed. I guessed and correctly that although it mentioned the python scriptengine that there was a chance the the depencies of the ruby one would likely also correct and support its python counterpart.
solved

Thank you Doktor5000
The widgets that I experienced this with were 1.Plasmacon (which I mentioned in orig post)
2.Konsole widget (which I failed to mention in first post)
yet those were the only two I remember testing.

I hope this helps someone,and I thank you Doktor5000 for reminding me of convention will I will now read carefully.
