Right, of course, I should've figured that out from the script in conv. Thanks! The problem with running the script from within Alfred was due to /usr/bin/python pointing to python 2.5 while in Terminal python pointed to 2.7 from python.org. I changed the default version and now it works as it should. Thanks!

I'm trying to learn your python workflow library and decided to try convert as a tutorial. However, if I write "conv x" in Alfred, it always goes to the fallback search (Google etc.). If I try to run the python script convert.py in Terminal, I get python convert.py 200m/s mph 09:41:50 convert.py:100 DEBUG query : 200m/s 09:41:50 background.py:215 DEBUG Calling [u'/usr/bin/python', '/Users/myusername/Library/Application Support/Alfred 2/Alfred.alfredpreferences/workflows/user.workflow.417268A9-C3A4-4777-B247-D481035658FF/workflow/background.pyc', u'update'] ...

(But I'm actually more interested in understanding why Alfred doesn't tell an error occured but fell back to Google instead, since that happens also when I try to write something using the workflow library myself.)
