For compatibility with python 2.6.x cherrypy should be upgraded to the latest version (3.1.2). And yes, there are other reasons too :) Reproducible: Always Actual Results: Fails with python 2.6.x Expected Results: Works :) I've made the version bump in my own overlay and it installs and runs flawlessly on python 2.6.2 (~amd64)
Seconded. Works fine, added it to my overlay. Needed for newer python.
