Bug Description

I tried the last ZODBBrowser release (0.10.3) on a ZODB-3.10.5 database (using Python 2.6).
When trying to display any object contents, I get the following error :

Can you test if this patch is sufficient to make this problem go away?

Never mind, that patch had a stupid bug. How about this one?

Oh, cool, I can reproduce this too.

In fact the zodbbrowser functional tests no longer work. Something changed in one of the dependencies? Because my 'make release' runs the full test suite, so things must've been working when I released 0.10.3.

Looking at http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~zodbbrowser-dev/zodbbrowser/trunk/revision/346 I don't understand

  (1) WTF was I doing with that 'if True:' business
  (2) how on Earth did the functional tests still pass (expected: "Folder object at 0xXXXXX" when the code was supposed to print "Folder with oid 0xXX")
  (3) why am I currently getting _p_oid of None in all the oldstate records.

Okay (2) is answered by "my tox.ini is woefully broken and tests pass when they shouldn't". 0.10.3 is simply broken, please use 0.10.2 until I untangle this mess.
