[twill] Twill is not working as expected

[Sergey Kishchenko]

Hi,

I am trying to test Google OpenID Auth with twill, but getting an unexpected
URLError because of quotes in refresh url that google inserts in response's
header (Refresh: 0; url='http://www.google.com/...' , notice single quotes).
I don't know is it a google's bug or twill's feature :). I propose this
simple patch:

         self.selector = None
         self.unredirected_hdrs = {}
         self.visit = visit


Can anyone help me with not-so-dirty solution?
