OK, this explains a lot. I've been working with Python apps for a
couple years now, debugging a couple small server apps and updating
the code from earlier Python versions to 2.4/2.5. If there's a typo in
the source code listings for the sample project, I don't know where to
go for docs on the functions to fix it or even if the problem is with
the statement where the failure appears. Development on TG2 appears to
be responsive, so I'll just adjust my expectations of the docs a
little and plow forward.

I do agree with the importance of the documentation, but I think that
the relationship is indirect. The breadth of implementation will be
determined by the applications available that run on the framework,
which will be determined to a large extent on the documentation. I
work with small gaming communities. There are a few things that
everyone there wants - a community portal, a shop, and the ability to
write data-driven games with as little learning curve as possible.
Right now they are either using PHP and dealing with separate
applications for the things they want to do - or - they are using
Python for their signature app and doing without the other components
of their ideal application suite.
