Any idea about the python view server from couchdb-python?  The values tuple
being returned works just fine however, the keys tuple, which appears to be
a tuple of tuples is causing my reduce function to fail silently whenever I
try to access an element by index.

keys looks like [[tag, object_id],[tag, object_id],...]

However when I try to access keys[0] (should be [tag, object_id]) or
keys[0][0] (should be 'tag') my reduce script silently fails.  If I just
ignore tags and sum the values in a simple map/reduce I get the correct
counts as simple vectors or atleast the same answer as the javascript
equivalent.  I'm hoping CMLenz will join the discussion or someone point me
in the proper direction.

Regards,

Jeff
