The style table must be named 'style' instead of 'config', as can be 
seen in gtdata/sketch/default.style (the default style file, can also 
well be used as a starting point for style customizations).

There seem to be obsolete references to 'config' on the web pages. This 
has been fixed and the pages will be updated soon. Thanks for bringing 
this to our attention.

You're welcome!
By the way:

The style.py script in the 'testdata' directory is intended for use with 
the internal GenomeTools unit test suite and may not work with any style 
file given as a parameter.
As a starting point for Python development with AnnotationSketch, I 
would rather recommend using the sketch.py script, adding style support 
by using style.load_file().
