Hey folks.

We're running a hacked up Allura on RHEL 6.2, and trying to use Python 2.6. I know there is the stated compatibility of 2.7, but we haven't run into any significant problems yet... until today.

The problem we were encountering was in repo_refresh.py and model/repo.py, with this error:

ValueError: zero length field name in format

One of the changes introduced for newest repo stuff uses the new, index-less regex field notation (as described on stackoverflow)

Here's a patch that fixes this little shortcoming of 2.6.

Since we'll be continuing to work with 2.6, we're happy to help in watching the compatibility... until some really new and novel feature is required, we hope this compatibility can be maintained!
