D'oh!
In the generateDS documentation, using the "people" example, you have
code that looks like this:
def test(names):
people = api.people()
for count, name in enumerate(names):
id = '%d' % (count + 1, )
person = api.person(name=name, id=id)
people.add_person(person)
people.export(sys.stdout, 0)
when it ought to look like this:
def test(names):
people = api.peopleType()
for count, name in enumerate(names):
id = '%d' % (count + 1, )
person = api.personType(name=name, id=id)
people.add_person(person)
people.export(sys.stdout, 0)
It should call "peopleType()" and "personType()" instead of "people()"
or "person()."
A simple mistake I should have noticed straight away. Sorry to pester you.

Allyn
