That AttributeError is awfully strange, but it does explain the lack of 
context.  The chain needs to go all the way to the application and 
request container.  Notice that the closing square bracket is not 
present, and something printed three asterisks.  I don't know what code 
would do that... perhaps Python 1.5.2?
