As far as I know, CouchDB doesn’t support writing view functions in Python, only JavaScript and Erlang. Unless there’s an external view server that implements this; but that’s not a standard part of CouchDB, rather something extra you’d have to install. Maybe double-check the installation/setup instructions in the book? —Jens
