Says: 
   "2.1 Prerequisites

      * Python 2.1 or later."

But...


cgiapp.py:26 reads:

        if isinstance(field, list):


Which breaks on list....


Python 2.1.1 (#1, Aug 30 2001, 17:36:05)
[GCC 2.96 20000731 (Mandrake Linux 8.1 2.96-0.61mdk)] on linux-i386
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> type(list)
<type 'builtin_function_or_method'>

because a function isnt the same as:

Python 2.2.2 (#2, Feb  5 2003, 10:40:08)
[GCC 3.2.1 (Mandrake Linux 9.1 3.2.1-5mdk)] on linux-i386
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> type(list)
<type 'list'>


So I assume 1.10pre1 needs atleast 2.2?


Shouldnt setup.py not install albatross for non working versions of
python?  (Especially for it works until you acutally submit a form
type errors).
