Yep, that code was a bit too optimistic ;)
The patch is ok and I'll have to find out how to merge it correctly to my repo. Hints welcome. If I get it, I'll release a new version.

[Sridhar Ratnakumar (srid)]

Actually I was not sure as to how to 'fork' off from the project in launchpad (like one does in github, bitbucket, et. al..). So I ended up creating a *new* project.

Do I have the permission to fork the original pypi-mirror .. to enable seamless merging later?

[Daniel Kraft (dk-d9t)]

Merged in 1.0.14. Please check...

[Daniel Kraft (dk-d9t)]

Meging is pretty easy with bzr, I just didn't find the correct URL. Now everything is good ;) I merged your code changes, but left the CHANGES.txt.

[Daniel Kraft (dk-d9t)]

Looks good with all my tests. Released.
