Oops...I lost track of this thread when I went on vacation. I figured
this was the story. Unfortunately, my understanding of the current
Python web kits are at such a low level, I would probably be more
trouble than I'm worth. If the guys over on the TurboGears list
continue to ignore my questions on how to do multi-database
connections, then I may come back to this as I think Django has a
better community and documentation.
Thanks!
Mike
