Hi,

I am new to Python/Quixote/Medusa, and tonight I downloaded and installed
(on WinNT) the latest Python, Quixote and Medusa versions (2.4, 1.0 and
0.5.4/1.11, respectively).

Problem:

The Demo's 'widget' link returns the error shown below.  All other links
work as expected. I scanned over recent mailing list subjects and didn't see
anything that sounded like it related to this problem.

Questions:

Is there something wrong with my setup, or is this a bug in the Demo app?
Any ideas on how to fix it?

Thanks in advance.

Brent
