When I try and push sofa to a CouchDB repository, I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

This happens repeatably. I'm afraid I don't know enough about CouchDB or Python to debug this - I only got here because I was attempting to follow the tutorial in "CouchDB: The definitive guide". If this is a bogus error caused by a one-off server problem, please ignore.
