Just a note to prevent others from running into this problem. The setup.py in Quixote 2.0a1 doesn't install demo.conf from the demo directory. This means that when the installed demo is run via SCGI and accessed from the web, it inexplicably hangs, serving no response to the client. The work-around solution is to manually copy the demo.conf file into the appropriate site-packages directory, or to comment out the demo_sgci.py line that expects the presence of demo.conf. Dan
