Alright.. this is the 2nd time I have filled a function with debug traces only to have it work. I am wondering if there is some wacky default configuration compiled into the .pyc files that I am invalidating. I am running this server and all of the python libs on my D: so there is the possibility of an infinite loop, which I think was what I was hitting. Upon a request, the first call to kid.__init__.load_template grabs the string format of the master.kid, but the 2nd time it goes through it attempts to grab template.turbogears.fastdata.templates.list. I'm still not sure what causes the loop.
In either case, I removed the traces from the file and it still functions beautifully, as expected. That was a waste of 4 hours.
