Comment 0 for bug 332205

When running the Software Sources program under System --> Administration, selecting "Other" under the mirror selection box gives an empty listing where the server listing tree usually shows up. I ran the program through the terminal and upon clicking "other", it gives this traceback:

:~$ gksu --desktop /usr/share/applications/software-properties.desktop /usr/bin/software-properties-gtk
Exception in thread Thread-1:

------------------------------
Attempting to do an update at the moment, the default server is painfully slow so I'll update with the results when I receive them, I see a few python updates in there that may fix this?
