python guru... ViewCVS

[bruce]

hi...

i'm playing/testing a python file (viewcvs.cgi/viewcvs.pyc) and i need to
talk with someone for a few minutes... i have no knowledge of python.

the file apparently opens up/reads a config file. however, i'm confused at
figuring out how to debug the file, to see what/where it's going in the
file...

i'm pretty sure that there is an issue with the config file. but the weird
thing is, i've actually changed the name of the config file, and i still get
the same err from the app, which is weird...

i've tried to print out a few err/msg statements, but i'm screwing something
up, because it appears that the web page can't print the print statements...

any thoughts/ideas/help would be greatly appreciated...

thanks

bruce
