I see now. The interesting bit here is that with python2.3, *everything*
is considered to be "an instance of" the object type -- even instances
of classes that don't inherit from object.
>>> class Foo: pass
...
>>> isinstance(Foo(), object)
True
>>> isinstance(1, object)
True
>>> isinstance({}, object)
True
I hadn't realized this initially, and I'm not sure it makes complete
sense to me, but it sure makes this API a lot simpler. I'm left
wondering now if you're allowed to specify `type' as a column type,
though.
Thanks for the answer,
