This looks great.

Would you please apply it to the mainline and to the latest release 
branch?  Then, I can show you how to do an update release so that people 
downloading from the web site don't run into this problem.

(Wasn't there another web.py problem that was affecting the release 
branch with Python 2.4?)

Thanks,
