copydir.py class LaxTemplate fails on python 2.6

[cfarrell]

cfarrell@paddy:~/PasteScript-1.6.2/paste/script> python copydir.py Traceback (most recent call last):

File "copydir.py", line 398, in <module>

class LaxTemplate?(string.Template):

File "/usr/lib/python2.6/string.py", line 119, in init

cls.pattern = _re.compile(pattern, _re.IGNORECASE | _re.VERBOSE)

File "/usr/lib/python2.6/re.py", line 188, in compile

return _compile(pattern, flags)

File "/usr/lib/python2.6/re.py", line 236, in _compile

raise ValueError?('Cannot process flags argument with a compiled pattern')

ValueError?: Cannot process flags argument with a compiled pattern

This first became evident when I used tg-admin in turbogears under 2.6 - the same error msg was returned.

If I comment out everything under class LaxTemplate?(), and simply add a 'pass' instead, both python copydir.py and tg-admin work.

Any ideas?

fix/workaround for the issue. Only applied on python > 2.5
