Yes, that works! To summarize... . It seems my svn checked out and installed setuptools needed to be downgraded from setuptools-0.6a9dev_r41815-py2.4.egg to setuptools-0.6a8-py2.4.egg (this may not be correct as I am new to python and using eggs).
. To enable AJAX and JSON (as per the end of the wiki20 tutorial) I needed to uncomment and set "tg.allow_json = True" in dev.cfg. . I needed to use hub.begin() and hub.commit() adding or modifying records in SQLite3 via "tg-admin shell" (again, from the wiki20 tutorial). Thank you Kevin and Michele. --markc
