Hey Chris,

John Lee pointed me to a patch he submitted to Python,

	http://python.org/sf/1627441

It was applied to 2.5 in January.  I realize this is a lot to ask,
but... could you try running using the latest Python svn?

I can also send you a hacked version of twill that contains the updated
files for Python 2.5, so all you'd have to do is switch to using 2.5.
That's probably easier, eh?

cheers,
