I've just committed the following patch:

diff -rN twill-old/twill/other_packages/ClientForm.py
twill-new/twill/other_packages/ClientForm.py
1869c1869
<         except ControlNotFoundError:

It's available in egg form under 0.8.5a3 at

	 http://issola.caltech.edu/~t/dist/

or from

	http://darcs.idyll.org/~t/projects/twill-latest.tar.gz

Note that I've changed the default encoding back to latin-1; John Lee
fixed a few things in the encoding handling, so I thought I'd give it
a try.  (It no longer breaks under the test case I have that previously
distinguished latin-1 from utf-8 handling.)

cheers,
