Ah, sorry, forgot to check in gmExceptions.py where I added
this to be raised in case of a non-specific constructor
failure (like in your __init__ you do something which can't be
done instead of failing). There's no real good way of how to
signal that __init__ failed short of raising exceptions. It
has to do with that the object itself is allocated before
__init__ is run (as was explained on python-users at one
time). Anyways, it is in CVS now.

Huh ? That's the whole point of the entire thing ?!?

If you REALLY want that they already are. Just give an empty
list of schema_files.

Ah, that code ain't finished yet. There's no good automatic
way of dealing with existing databases yet. Once solid schema
tracking regarding releases is in place we can query the
gm_services table to check whether a particular version of a
service is already installed.
