According, to the API Locutus posted, tStartPlot.getX(), and tStartPlot.getY() should work... What's the specific error message you get when trying those?

When I add the tStartPlot.getX() and getY() I get an error while it tries to load the mod.

Here's more of the surrounding code (everything worked before adding the getX() and getY()):

def setup(self):
# find human player
bComputer = True
iCount = 0
while bComputer:
pPlayer = gc.getPlayer(iCount)
if (pPlayer.isHuman()):
bComputer = False
pHuman = pPlayer

# get human player starting location
tStartPlot = pHuman.getStartingPlot()

# add additional units to the human player's civ
self.makeUnit(iSettler, pHuman, tStartPlot, 1)
self.makeUnit(iScout, pHuman, tStartPlot, 1)
self.makeUnit(iWarrior, pHuman, tStartPlot, 1)
else:
iCount = iCount + 1

def makeUnit(self, iUnit, pHuman, tStartPlot, iNum):
# display welcome message
self.displayWelcomePopup()
#Makes unit type iUnit for player pHuman at tStartPlot
iX = tStartPlot.getX()
iY = tStartplot.getY()
# pHuman.initUnit(iUnit, tStartPlot[0], tStartPlot[1], UnitAITypes.NO_UNITAI)

When I say it worked I mean the mod loaded - it's not actually generating the units.

EDIT: Ooops, my bad. Wrong comment on an error I thought you had, but you don't actually.

Make sure you have HidePythonExceptions = 0 in your ini file so Python error messages are displayed.

The correct code to create the units is pHuman.initUnit(iUnit, iX, iY, UnitAITypes.NO_UNITAI). This works for me.

If you want to test if certain code is reached, you may find it useful to generate popups at strategic points in your code, like this:

popup = PyPopup.PyPopup()
popup.setBodyString( 'Got Here.')
popup.launch()

For some reason the

iX = tStartplot.getX()
iY = tStartPlot.getY()

prevents the module from even loading.

Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong there?

Well, just a guess, but if the setup function is called when the mod is loaded instead of when the game is started, then your pHuman would be null, and that would cause a exception on the lines you indicated when the mod is loaded.
