PyWeek - Linux patch

So close...
It almost works on linux unchanged.
in engine.py line 195 needs to be changed from:
mapinfo.append((rname,posn,kwargs))
to
mapinfo.append((rname,posn,kwargs.strip()))

ohwell, not toooo bad for never testing on the platform.

You also use the default font, which doesn't necessarily work in Linux.

Traceback (most recent call last):
