Never having used it until now, I am python-ignorant. 
Roundup is the first app i have encountered that has
merited me trying to learn python.  I am also new at
reading the roundup code.

I have attempted to make a mod_python compatible
replacement for roundup.cgi.  This would speed up
processing while maintaining simplicity of install.

when i run this .py file via mod_python, things seem to
go well up to line 144.  line 145 never executes and i
dont get any error messages.

I took a look at instance.open method and didnt see
anything that i could understand. the error condition
there would generate a message, though i dont know how
i could access that message.

I'm attaching rup.py which is the file ive been hacking on.

thanks.

Thanks for starting this work.  I've done a bit of
sleuthing, and I think I know why you weren't seeing any
errors.  cgitb.py is used to capture error information and
print it.  In its current form it explicitly uses 'print',
whcih is why you don't see any information.  

I'm interested in completing what you started, and I think
I'm fairly close to some alpha code.  Is anyone else working
on or interested in this issue?
