Ah, thanks, now I understand the problem. So, description= and
descriptionDone= have to be *lists* of strings, rather than just being a
single string. Unfortunately single strings are enough like sequences that
they get remarkably far before something breaks, making the error message
incredibly confusing.

Try using:

 description=["publish"]

instead of

 description="publish"

I'll look into easing this restriction (by automatically turning single
strings into a one-element list), and improving the docs on these arguments.

sorry for the confusion,
