You will need it if you use the current state of the code, which uses SQLite internally, and are running Python 2.4.x or earlier. SQLite is now part of Python, starting with the recent 2.5 release.

that was what lead me to download Subversion - you get 241 files with no installation instructions only a readme which tells you you've got a load
of files and directories which aren't there, and nothing else useful.

If you follow the instructions, you get three folders: 'dabo', 'demo', and 'ide'. The 'dabo' folder is the framework; 'demo' and 'ide' should speak for themselves.

then there are instructions for using svn to get dabo - but nothing (that I
could understand) about getting it in any other way.
If dabo is all written in Python can't I just download a directory/ folder
tree to copy under /site-packages ???

You could copy the 'dabo' folder to your site-packages directory, and that would work fine. It's just another Python module, after all. But in many cases 'site-packages' is a location with privilege restrictions. The suggestion for adding a 'dabo.pth' file that points to the actual framework location is simply a way to get it set up once, while still allowing you to update the framework as a non- privileged user.
