Dabo in 30 seconds?

[James Stroud]

OK. I am open to new things and I am definitely open to being wrong. So lets 
try dabo (results below--how did I know this would happen?). This 
demonstration is not to pick on the dabo people (I'm sure they mean well), 
but to give an idea of what I face EVERY time I try to install some new, 
great, python module. Now the last thing I want to do is to go on a hunt for 
the source of this error--and fix it, just to find another a little later and 
another and another--without an inkling of why, in real world practicality, 
dabo would be so much greater than anything else. So you can see why I stick 
with one good thing. Its not that I don't want to learn or I am not open, 
etc. Its just that things don't usually work out of the box, and, to quote 
GnR, "I ain't got time for the pain."

Incidentally, I'm not really interested in knowing what is wrong here, frankly 
I haven't even looked at the output except that I notice that it is a stack 
trace, so don't bother telling me how simple it is to fix and that I should 
know this or that. You might be right, but I simply don't care at this point.

Sorry dabo guys. You are only one of many.

The words democracy, socialism, freedom, patriotic, realistic,
justice, have each of them several different meanings which
cannot be reconciled with one another. In the case of a word
like democracy, not only is there no agreed definition, but the
attempt to make one is resisted from all sides. It is almost
universally felt that when we call a country democratic we are
praising it: consequently the defenders of every kind of regime
claim that it is a democracy, and fear that they might have to
stop using the word if it were tied down to any one meaning.
