When trying to branch from lp:python/2.6 I got the following error:

@Bo, I've fixed the bzr/current branch with the branch fixer.
@andrea, the python-dev team need to fix the python branch you linked. Or you could ask in #launchpad/a question at https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad-code, to get a sysadmin to fix it.
