1. Read about ConfigParser here:

    http://docs.python.org/lib/module-ConfigParser.html

2. Read the traceback from the bottom up:  (1) The exception is
   raised in ConfigParser.py on line 240 in function/method options.
   (2) This was called from newspipe.py on line 895 in
   function/method LeerConfig.

3. It's looking for a section named "NewsPipe" in your
   options/config file.  Check your config file.  Is that
   section name misspelled?  Is the section missing?  Does
   the NewsPipe documentation tell you where the config file
   should be and what it's name is?  If not, look in newspipe.py.

Hope this helps.

Dave
