Well in case anyone ever sees this looking for something similar, it was a
dependency problem. My buildout needed to explicitly ask for
repoze.who.plugins.sa I feel like I have landed planes with coconuts here (
cargo culting ) as I don't know when that got installed in the old
environment or why everything ran but didn't actually work in the new one,
but at least the planes are landing again.
comments from those who understand what happened would still be appreciated
though! =)
