Yea thanks I tried that as well with no luck. I ended up just creating a
new db_wizard.py in my model and this set up works great now. Its mentioned
in the book but thats it, just mentioned. For new users there should be a
guide to setting all of this up correctly. Maybe there is? I could write
something up when I am done sorting it all out.

Thanks
