TypeError: integer argument expected, got float

Probably down to a change in Python 2.7. Up until 2.6, if you passed a float to a function that was defined as taking an int, the float would automatically be converted, though possibly with a DeprecationWarnng. In 2.7 (and Python 3000) it's now a TypeError. So, you have to put in an explicit conversion to int wherever this occurs.

There are quite a lot of packages affected by this!

Thanks for your remark. I reported a separate bug for the issue (https://bugs.launchpad.net/indiv-screenlets/+bug/827082). We have fixed number of these issues already, but probably there are more of them.
