At this point, I just dropped in the straightforward fix and moved that one function call out to startup.py. More productive than exporting an init function might be to plug in something like PyDispatcher that allows anyone that needs to to listen for interesting events (server startup/shutdown, config file loading, etc.). Either that, or just create specific subject/observer functions, which is really not very difficult :) For now, the simple solution will do, I think. Kevin
