I don't what the reason might be.  Does your script work when run under
swpython?

Also on a side note, is there any active development going on with

Yes and no.  I  and a few other people use skunkweb on a daily basis for
work, but with very little work on the core.  (There are a few differences
between SVN HEAD and the last release -- I'd suggest running off of HEAD in
production if you see any bugs in the ChangeLog that look like they might
affect you).  There is a "skunk4" project in SVN which has code in it which
I use daily also -- the skunk.cache package in particular -- but basically
the project is dormant, out of lack of both my personal time and community
interest.  But I could be galvanized if one or two other developers were
interested in helping and working on a real skunk4.

Also, there are two services in the latest releases that are basically
undocumented (like most of skunkweb, alas) but that are very useful -- "mvc"
and "layout".  The first lets you get away from the active page model when
you want to (which in my case, is most of the time); the second gives you,
in effect, template inheritance (although it isn't called that).

Cheers,
