Python 2.2.1 on Debian Linux also has this problem:

Python 2.2.1 (#1, Feb 28 2004, 00:52:10)
[GCC 2.95.4 20011002 (Debian prerelease)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import quixote
>>> quixote.__version__
'0.6.1'
>>> t = 'hi'
>>> t += quixote.html.htmltext('there')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "", line 1, in ?
TypeError: cannot concatenate 'str' and 'htmltext' objects
>>>

I don't have Python2.3 on my linux, so I can't confirm if it is a python thing,
but very likely...

Regards,
Alex
