Verificar correo en Conky (Script)

Si ustedes recuerdan el post que realize sobre mi archivo .conkyrc, este utilizaba un script en Python, el cual verificaba el correo electronico (utilizando Gmail), y mostraba en Conky, la cantidad de emails que tenemos para leer (en bandeja de entrada).
Ese script es el siguiente (no es de mi autoria, no recuerdo de donde lo saque).
El script en cuestión:

import os
import string

#Enter your username and password below within double quotes
# eg. username="username" and password="password"
username="USERNAME"
password="PASSWORD"

ttext=""
title=""
ntext=[]
nam=[]
mtext=[]
mes=[]
sum=[]
ema=[]
nom=""
tot=0
rtot=0
com="wget -O - https://"+username+":"+password+"
@mail.google.com/mail/feed/atom --no-check-certificate"

temp=os.popen(com)
msg=temp.read()
")<br /> index2=string.find(msg," index = string.find(msg,"")
title=msg[index+25:index2]
index=index2
index=string.find(msg,"")
index2=string.find(msg,"")
fc=msg[index+11:index2]
if(int(fc)>20):tot=20
else: tot=(int(fc))
rtot=tot
import os
import string

#Enter your username and password below within double quotes
# eg. username="username" and password="password"
username="USERNAME"
password="PASSWORD"

")<br /> index2=string.find(msg," index = string.find(msg,"")
title=msg[index+25:index2]
index=index2
index=string.find(msg,"")
index2=string.find(msg,"")
fc=msg[index+11:index2]

if(int(fc)>20):tot=20
else: tot=(int(fc))
        rtot=tot

if (int(fc)==1):
        print "You have "+fc+" new message\n"
elif rtot==0:
        print "You have no new messages\n"
elif rtot>1:
        print "You have "+fc+" new messages\n"
else:
        print "ERROR!!!"

index=index2
i=-1
x=0
while index != -1:
        i=i+1
        ",index)<br />    index2=string.find(msg,"
        index=string.find(msg,"",index)
