        Sorry, due to the ease of spreading virii via email, all lists I  
host have their attachments stripped.

        That's true. The install guide is for the framework itself. The most  
up-to-date information is on the Wiki; check out http://dabodev.com/ 
wiki/InstallationOnWindows

        The problem, as I understand it, is that putting things in site- 
packages can change the order that Python 'sees' things.

        Also, you were running simpleDemo2.py from a directory named  
'DaboDemo'. One thing that is confusing, and which I am hoping we can  
remedy soon, is the disorganized nature of the demo directory. As we  
developed Dabo, and someone asked a question that was answered with a  
short program, it got thrown into the demo directory. Last year,  
though, I started to create an organized program called 'DaboDemo'  
that mirrored the wxPython demo program. Eventually, that will be the  
only program used to run demos; other demos will either be  
incorporated into DaboDemo, or moved into separate downloads.

        Have you looked at the wiki? Most of our current docs are there.  
Perhaps the downloaded docs should be updated with a link to the wiki.

        Can you explain what you mean by this? All Dabo classes inherit from  
our dObject class, which in turn is based on the Python 'object' class.
