currently there is nothing to get, now, when one tries to go to the URL, 
the browser does nothing, literally. i.e. if you're on the directory 
index page, and you click one of the .py files, or a directory with an 
index.py, it does nothing, if I open a new tab, and paste the URL, hit 
enter or click 'go', it does nothing, nothing loads, it still says 
(Untitled) as if it went nowhere.

and this seems to only happen when I try to import something from my 
codebase,
a plain .py file that simply has the following defined, works:

def index( req ):
    return req.filename

I just don't get what's going on here, it doesn't make the least bit of 
sense.
