ok, thanks everyone. The funny thing about the name conventions is, i was just two days ago looking around on the web for the best way to go about consistancy in variable names, class names, etc..
i have the module working now. thanks to you guys. And i think i understand the container name | object name paradigm. i did not get the suggestion to change all my database queries so the parameter substitution is performed by the .execute*() methods.. that one went over me head. thanks for all the help, guys -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
