Can anyone manage to get Pyroom running on Puppy?

I've been attempting to get some form of full-screen text editor such as Pyroom or Jdarkroom running on puppy with no success. I've installed dependencies (as far as I can tell--like Python and Pygtk for Pyroom, and java for Jdarkroom) but end up with duds. (And I know "you could get that with a console text editor" but I don't want that.)
Has anyone been able to install either of them and gotten them to work? I'd like to know how you did it.
Using Boxpup, based on 4.1.
Thanks!

I didn't try Pyroom, but Jdarkroom seems to run OK...if you follow the ubuntu instructions in the .pdf guide & modify these lines in the jdarkroom.properties file to:
Code: Select all
suppress.native.look.and.feel=true
force.full.screen=true

Bumping... 0.4.1 still doesn't work. I've followed these instructions:
Code: Select all
tar xzvf pyroom-0.4.1.tar.gz
chmod ugo+x pyroom-0.4.1/setup.py
mv pyroom-0.4.1/setup.py /usr/bin/pyroom
It's in the right place, but when I run it from the console I get
Code: Select all
env: python: No such file or directory
I've just installed Puppy this week, so I'm pretty lost anyways (Peazip is also giving me a hard time... ha!).
Thanks in advance,

JDarkroom
You need java on your system
Something easier than this?

then download the java file

go to the directory where the jar file is
open a terminal and run the .jar file (java executible file)
# java -jar JDarkRoom.jar
worked fine for me

Hmm... I was looking at that one as well, but thought I could give pyroom a try.
Thanks!
Edit: it works beautifully!
