Thanks for fixing that up...I thought it was working for me the other
night, but tests in the harsh light of day show that it doesn't work
for me now either. Any python guys know anything about overloading
decorators, and why this wouldn't be working?

I was wondering if that was necessary, but should it be?  My
understanding is that the backend should always call Init() - is this
