I was wondering if you might come back - Welcome back!
First let's confirm that you are setup correctly. Please provide your
platform, python and wypython versions, along with the dabo version.
But in the mean time check this link - which is nothing more than the
grid test extracted from the dGrid.py code.
http://dabo.codepad.org/R3kRkf8t
Take note that the data is created in the code - but could be from any
database. I realize this is not what Mike provided but you should note
that the code is easier to read and it take less code to display the data.
