Glad you figured it out.  I agree some short documentation of the python
interface would be useful.  Until somebody does that (are there any
volunteers?), you have to look at the extensive xw??.py python examples and
follow the spirit of those.  The general rule is all array dimensions are
dropped (since that information is redundant in python).  Our java interface
also has the same general rule for the same reason.
