Yes - the makefile ran the wrong python - your solution is the correct
one.  You could also have used "PYTHONPATH=.. pythonx all.py", which
would allow you to run the tests without installing albatross.

That's right - if you started the session server (doesn't need to be
root), this test would have passed, but there's not really a lot of
point (and your hosts might get upset with random processes listening
on random ports).

That's a curly one. I'd suggest putting some debug in before the above
line in albatross. Write os.getcwd() and dirname to sys.stderr. If you
don't have access to the web server's stderr output, you could write
the debug to a file in /tmp, etc.

"dirname" is derived from the module name ("login") and the module_path
you specified when creating the app object.
