John,

Thanks for the kind words.  I need to document MrCreosote
better, particularly for Zope use.

Usually, I place a single line in the debug code, which
is simple to [un]comment.

  from creosote import MrCreosote; spew=MrCreosote().spew

Subsequent code use just simple spew() statements:

  spew("Hello, world")

BTW, The 'C' version of MrCreosote is also being used in 
some Python CE development and even a Python Netscape/IE 
Plugin I'm working on. 

Best regards,
