Webware for Python

when i try to start the server running ./AppServer i get this error:

Loading context: Admin at /usr/lib/Webware/WebKit/Admin
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./WebKit/ThreadedAppServer.py", line 592, in run
    server = ThreadedAppServer(workDir)
  File "./WebKit/ThreadedAppServer.py", line 66, in __init__
    AppServer.__init__(self, path)
  File "./WebKit/AutoReloadingAppServer.py", line 43, in __init__
    AppServer.__init__(self,path)
  File "./WebKit/AppServer.py", line 67, in __init__
    self._app = self.createApplication()
  File "./WebKit/AppServer.py", line 171, in createApplication
    return Application(server=self)
  File "./WebKit/Application.py", line 145, in __init__
    self.addContext(i, path)
  File "./WebKit/Application.py", line 874, in addContext
    mod = imp.load_module(name, res[0], res[1], res[2])
EOFError: EOF read where object expected

Exiting AppServer

thanks.

Whenever an error is encounter in my python script AppServer shuts down and 
has to be started again, very annoying, am I doing something wrong?
--------------------------------
from ExamplePage import ExamplePage
from time import *


class mytime(ExamplePage):

    def writeContent(s):
        s.write('<p>', asctime(localtime(time())))
        5*5
--------------------------------
I only added the last line to the ShowTime.py script, I know that line is 
wrong but why does AppServer shut down after that???
Thanks, Michael.

Wow! That's really good news.
I can't promise but 'd try to help because I share your very goals.

As UNIX taught us, tool should do one thing and do it well.

Personally, I've never used anything except WebKit from Webware distro. 
Cheetah IMO much better then PSP, SQLObject (thanks Ian!) is better then 
MiddleKit and the rest kit's just arent needed.

I woudn't strive for 100%-compatibility. If someone would decide to 
swtich to StandaloneWK he 'd have a lot of work to do anyway (like 
convert to new configuration and deployment scheme).

Has anyone used multiple MiddleKit stores (to multiple databases / object 
models, that is) within a single app? Have you had success or failure or 
neither? :-)

Right now, I have a singleton store that I'm using for everything, but I'm 
thinking about adding some pieces to my app that would want to access 
other object stores, and I want to know if there's anything I'm in for.

It seems like the code itself is pretty clean and free of globals or 
class-level variables that would get in the way, but if someone has 
specific experience, positive or negative, to relate, that would be great.

Thanks!
