TypeError: keys and values must be strings

Hey folks, Zed, whoever reads this list --

I'm trying to get the one shot blog example up and running in my shiny new
virtualenv in Ubuntu. It appears as if my Python 2.6 is missing gdbm, (or
something similar) and the Confirm storage is falling back on dumbdb causing
the stack trace below.

I followed all of the directions in "Deploying Lamson Level 1" explicitly,
multiple times in fact. Wondering if anyone else has had this problem? Is
there a straight forward solution? I am missing some standard extensions in
my lamson python 2,6. I downloaded the python standard lib extensions, (an
ubuntu package), with the thought that I could compile and install them in
my lamson virtualenv, but after running into a few blips I decided to ping
the list and see if there was a better way...

I'm also going to try getting everything up and running using pip, just so I
can start hacking.

I'm not completely new to this type of problem but I'm not an expert so if
it seems like I'm missing something obvious, I probably am, and any help is
greatly appreciated. Also apologies if this is already in the archives
somewhere, but they don't appear to be working?

thanks,
Sean
