Conky companion? Not sure what you mean.

But IF you are talking about the Ubuntu Conky Companions PPA, I will say this:
- it does not exist for Debian.
- ALL of the apps there that Mark Buck created are built against Ubuntu 8.04.4 LTS (Hardy Heron).
- They are "python" scripts and can be opened and read with any text editor. Nothing hidden in them, and to the best of my knowledge work in BL, if they work today.
- I don't have the PPA in my sources list since I helped beta test most of them I have them all here anyway.

Of the scripts in the PPA there are still two that I use on a daily basis:
1 conkyEmail - but an older version that does not depend on conkyKeyring (conkyemail_2.13_all.deb)
- - - no longer available via the PPA, but I have it here.
2 conkyMisc; that has a few scripts in it:
2a conkyDateDiff.py - I use this
2b conkyDatetimeDiff.py
2c conkyDaysDiff.py - I use this
2d conkyLatLong.py
2e conkySlideshow.py
2f conkyText.py (${if_match} in conky made this redundant)

conkyLatLong reports the LatLong of your ISP, so if you travel with a laptop it will give you an idea where you are:

 24 May 16 @ 13:51:09 ~
  $ conkyLatLong -h
Usage: conkyLatLong.py [options]

Options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -l, --longitudeonly   Force the script output Longitude only
  -L, --latitudeonly    Force the script output Latitude only
  -i, --imperial        Force the script to output in Degrees / Minutes and
                        Seconds. If not set the script outputs in the standard
                        metric decimal fashion
  -c NUMBER, --connectiontimeout=NUMBER
                        [default: 10]
  -v, --verbose         Request verbose output, not a good idea when running
                        through conky!
  -V, --version         Displays the version of the script.
  --errorlogfile=FILE   If a filepath is set, the script appends errors to the
                        filepath.
  --infologfile=FILE    If a filepath is set, the script appends info to the
                        filepath.

If they are just python scripts, then the OP could download the debs from the ppa and extract the scripts.

Head_on_a_Stick · 2016-05-24 18:21:22

^ In case the OP wants to try that, I just unpacked one of them myself trying to answer the question:

ar -x conkyclementine_2.03_all.deb
tar xf data.tar.gz

The scripts can then be found in usr/bin & usr/share in the current working directory

EDIT: Good grief, thunar does that automatically -- well I never...

@ HoaS - Mark created an ARCH AUR for all those too during the time he was using ARCH.
- in fact there is an aur directory in the tar.gz files: What's a bzr?

And they can be put in ~/bin as well I had them there for years.
I simply click on the .deb and let gdebi do it. Have done that since I first came over to #! - never had a problem.

Yeah, that's the best way -- gdebi will refuse to install the package if the dependencies cannot be satisfied.

^ YUP, and other than conkyForecast, the one that started it all, I 'think' they all still work.
