Syntax error with setup.py for AccountManagerPlugin

[stava@…]

When I try to build an egg for the 0.10 Account Manager Plugin (python setup.py bdist_egg), I get "AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'group'". I'm not a python programmer and I have no idea what the error message means.

Here's what I get:

% python --version
Python 2.5
% lsb_release -sir
SUSE LINUX 10.2
% svn co http://trac-hacks.org/svn/accountmanagerplugin/0.10 accmgr
% cd accmgr
% python setup.py bdist_egg
running bdist_egg
