What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.8, linux(mint)

Please provide any additional information below.

It appears the there is some missing dependencies.
I downloaded simplejson, but that made it look for pwCache.
After failing to install pwCache, I tried  different approach. The solution
was to type "python pwytter.py" instead of "pwytter.py" as written on
pwytter.com

I have the same problem with pwCache, but i copy pwCache.py and pwCache.pyc from the 
source directory to /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pwytter-0.8-py2.5.egg and then 
i made them executables with chmod. But now, the problem is this:

in setTheme
    self.themeName = self.themeList[0]
IndexError: list index out of range

I don't know what to do here.

OK, I am on jaunty, if I do
"pwytter.py" it crashed
but if I do "python pwytter.py" it works
May be good in a near release...

Same problem. You should update your page to add more DEPENDENCIES for you software.
The 'sudo apt-get install ...' you gave on the Download page is definitely not enough.
