Aaaaah. I am sooooo glad I solved that problem. I won't go into detail about the boringly specific programming issues I just overcame, but to summarize:

1. I needed to get something set up.
2. All the instructions and code samples for setting up this thing are 3+ years out of date.
3. The creators of said instructions and samples also admit that parts of the code no longer work, without actually bothering to specify which parts or why.
4. I was able to find the three-odd lines that needed to be changed and get it working anyway, despite not understanding 90% of the code at this point. Go me!

The documentation is still incredibly terrible, but I at least have something to work with now that I have this thing running.

I just discovered the wonder of Django and... damn! How the hell did I manage to do database stuff in python without this? This is soooooo much better than doing it manually that it's not even funny. I don't even know how I managed the persistence to write anything using the plain sqlite3 module. It was horrible.

At least it's making learning this new stuff seem like a piece of cake!
