Python 2.2.3 with Quixote 1.0b1 on Red Hat Linux has this problem:

Python 2.2.3 (#1, Aug  8 2003, 08:44:02)
[GCC 3.2.3 20030502 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.3-13)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import quixote
>>> quixote.__version__
'1.0b1'
>>> t = 'hi'
>>> t += quixote.html.htmltext('there')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "", line 1, in ?
TypeError: cannot concatenate 'str' and 'htmltext' objects
>>>

But Python 2.3.3 with Quixote 1.0b1 on Red Hat Linux does not:

Python 2.3.3 (#1, Feb  7 2004, 17:28:49)
[GCC 3.3.2 20031022 (Red Hat Linux 3.3.2-1)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import quixote
>>> quixote.__version__
'1.0b1'
>>> t = 'hi'
>>> t += quixote.html.htmltext('there')
>>>
