Syncato 0.7 on 10.3.2 - wit's end (long)

Ah. I have managed to get Syncato running on Jaguar (using a  
built-from-scratch Python 2.3.2, framework install), but I'm at wit's  
end trying to get things working on Panther (10.3.2), either using  
Apple's Python or built-from-scratch Python 2.3.3, just using the  
file-based storage.

Other details:

- libxml2-2.5.11
- libxslt-1.0.33

PackageManager includes support for libxml2-2.5.4, but I've been using  
2.5.11/1.0.33 on Jaguar.

The symptoms are bizarre: the libxml2/libxslt scripts seem to work, but  
Syncato itself consistently gives an error that looks like a problem  
with the Python-based extension functions:

The "Admin" URL times out; no error, and Webware just seems to be  
spinning.

(Numerous iterations with libxml2-2.6.4/libxslt-1.1.2 and the Pythons  
didn't produce any other successes.)

Sick children have limited my debugging time; I'm hoping I can find out  
what combinations *have* worked for folks trying to run Syncato on  
Panther?

Thanks!
Roger
