Under Python 2.1/MacOS 9.1, the initialization 
script fails in the templatebuilder.py script; see the 
traceback below:

roundup.init.init('Slack:Desktop 
Folder:roundup_test', 'extended', 'anydbm', 
'test123')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<input>", line 1, in ?
  File "slack:development:python 
2.1:lib:site-packages:roundup:init.py", line 45, in 
init
    
roundup.templatebuilder.installHtmlBase(template
_name, instance_home)
  File "slack:development:python 
2.1:lib:site-packages:roundup:templatebuilder.py", 
line 43, in installHtmlBase
    os.makedirs(installDir)
  File "Slack:Applications (Mac OS 9):Python 
2.1:Lib:os.py", line 196, in makedirs
    mkdir(name, mode)
error: (17, 'File exists')

There *is* a try/except block here, but it basically 
just appears to be failing to catch the 
MacOS-specific disk I/O errors.

Thanks, though, for bringing the roundup spec so 
close to reality!

This was my bug -- I had forgotten my login password, 
and wanted to submit it while I had the fresh traceback 
in hand.

One question -- how often will the template installer be 
used without the rest of the init script? If the answer is 
'never', as I suspect it might be, then it might be easiest 
to simply remove the directory creation code in 
templatebuilder.py, since the directories are created in 
the init method anyway (and commenting out the 
os.makedirs() call was the fastest way for me to get an 
installation up and running).

I believe this bug is fixed in CVS - we specifically catch 
EEXIST (errno 17 usually) from the makedirs call. It'll be 
fixed in the 0.2.6 release.
