[Twisted-web] twisted-web2 demo.py 'GATEWAY_INTERFACE' error

[Joseph Montanez]

I had the same problem. Reason is those sources are outdated while the 
documentation is a little newer. Download the CVS Version and compile. 
Also as a side note I tried to python setup.py all install and it didn't 
install my web2, I had to copy it over to my site-packaged. I wrote a 
little journal just deal with twisted in general. take a look:
