One of the things this bug report shows is that people are being misled by this warning. They think that this warning is the cause of the error, when it is not. The fix seems to be an easy one: reverse the order of the the hasattr() calls in tools/misc.py. This way python >= 2.6 will never hit the deprecated check for the 'message' attribute. Patch attached.
