The bug in SQLObject was just a missing '+' character, it was doing:
sql = ';\n'+join_sql
instead of:
sql += ';\n'+join_sql
so the SQL for the table was getting dropped when there was "join" sql for the final content. Somewhat of a letdown, I was thinking it would be hours of plunging through deep-dark code ...

Decided today was the day to learn TurboGears, so I sat down and started working out a model for the BetterBilling project. This is basically a generic provisioning system for ISPs or VoIP providers that I'm wanting to build.
