I'm considering removing support for metakit from Roundup
     

Ouch, that would be most unfortunate.  As I understand, MK is one of
the faster bindings for Roundup.
   

It's actually the fastest. Unfortunately, it's also the least-supported. I 
honestly have little idea how it works. Also, metakit's lack of explicit null 
has caused some difficultly, but I've managed some work-arounds for that - 
which in some cases means just skipping some unit tests :(

 

I'll be happy to take a look at the python code.  I checked the most 
recent out of CVS played with it for a little while and have my first fix :)

in back_metakit.py
class _Database the __getattr__ statement should be
   def __getattr__(self, classname):
       if classname == 'transactions':
           return self.dirty
       # fall back on the classes
       try:
           return self.getclass(classname)
       except KeyError, msg:
           raise AttributeError(str(msg))
Otherwise admin.py will throw exceptions in Python 2.2, 2.3 when 
executing statements like "if self.db"

Do you have any crashing scenerios that you could forward?
