[Twisted-web] Twisted Network Programming Essentials

[Stephen Nightingale]

  Fine Book.  I'm working through the examples.
  Hit a problem with the wordcountproxy.py example,
  under the explanation of HTTP Proxy Servers, on page 62..
  As this __might__ be an issue with Twisted itself,
  I'm cross-posting here as well as back to O'Reilly errata.
  
  The issue is that the:
  'reactor.listenTCP(WEB_PORT, WebReportFactory(counter))'
  call precipitates an error message in  _getfullpathname in
  Lib/ntpath.py, called from web/http.py, and the error is:
  'TypeError: coercing to Unicode: need string or buffer, WordCounter found'
  
  The full traceback is given below.  N.B. I'm using Python 2.4.1
  on Win XP.
  
  I wonder if anyone else has come across this issue?
  Any insights gratefully received,
  
  Regards,
  
  Stephen Nightingale.
