[twill] <form> not parsed on Ubuntu 7.10 but works on WinXP

[Luis Bruno]

I'm going to blame Arnaud's packaging.

go http://www.euro-parts.com/en/homeboutique.aspx
fv 'aspnetForm' 'TextBox1' 'my_name_is_earl'

Did anyone notice how I've blamed mechanize without being actually
sure? Sorry about that. I already had clientform and pyparsing
installed, so the only missing dependency I was prompted to install
was mechanize -- and I promptly forgot about the others.

Yep; Arnaud Fontaine introduced this patch on python-twill, introduced
with Gutsy (you had an easy_install'ed twill before, right?):

I think it would be best if Arnaud removes this patch from Ubuntu's
-diff.gz until the correct python-<bundledpackages> hit the
repositories.
