I just wasted a lot of time coming to the following realization:
In Webware 0.8, PSP files cannot have filenames that start with the
letter x.
Here's a simple demonstration:
- In the Webware/WebKit/Examples directory, create a file named
'x.psp', with contents 'This is a PSP file.'.
- Create an identical file named 'y.psp'.
- Try to visit both with a browser. y.psp now works as expected,
whereas x.psp raises an exception such as this:
------------------------------------------------------------------------

File "c:\dev\python\core\lib\ihooks.py", line 168, in load_source
return imp.load_source(name, filename, file)
ValueError: invalid \x escape
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I couldn't find the bug in a brief exploration of the code in question,
and I don't have time right now to pursue it in depth, so for the
moment I'll just name my PSPs with another first letter than 'x'.
Can anyone else confirm that this is in fact a bug, rather than some
bizarre mistake on my part?
