Let me suggest then that integrating most or all of weberrors
improvements over paste's evalexception might be a reasonable first
step, and then refactoring the code. Weberror and paste.evalexception
are so very useful, and despite the spaghetti code there is something
to be said for the pragmatic statement "People use it/them because
it/they work." I'm of the opinion that if people see that it's getting
maintained again then perhaps they'll be more willing to chip in with
fixes and improvements. However, IMO the first logical step is to
merge them, and the direction of merge that makes sense to me is to
take weberror and merge it into paste.evalexception, even if it has to
happen a step at a time.
To that end, perhaps if I can find some time, I'll look into doing
that work myself.
