What specific traceback do you get? In my copy of the code that line says
a = long(_hexlify(_urandom(16)), 16)
and I could just imagine that _urandom() fails for some reason to do
with the environment (it is a reference to os.urandom()), which, being
part of the C library code, might depend on the environment.
But you're not giving enough info to debug this.
OK, here is the traceback. I've upgraded the application from Python
2.6 + CGIHTTPServer.py + bugfixes to Python 3.2a4 + http.server +
bugfixes, hoping that it would fix it, but since it didn't that the
traceback would be more relevant. It seems that _urandom is the likely
culprit.
