Two tiny lunchtime Yarrow fixes

marnanelYesterday I fixed the indexing problem on rgtp.thurman.org.uk (by simply deleting the indexes; they're only a cache). I'm sorry it was down for a couple of days.
Over lunch today I believe I fixed the encoding issue discussed in Y0342114 (it was a single line of code). A GREED user has confirmed that Yarrow-generated pound signs are displayed correctly. If I don't hear of any problems I'll be making a Yarrow release tonight or tomorrow night; it will be v1.3, I believe. (I'm not certain, because 1.2 was released in 2002 and the records are a little shaky since then.)
Other things which may be on the horizon, if anyone asks for them:

Other things which may be on the horizon, if anyone asks for them:
- (this one may be fixed now)
- the index would probably be more reliable if it was stored in a relational database rather than Python pickles; ISTR this was vetoed a few years ago by some site running Yarrow which didn't want to install a relational database, so fair enough. (Maybe we could use sqlite, though.)
- the code would be a lot more readable if it used some kind of templating system, but that would require every site using it to install the same templating system; I like the Python port of Template Toolkit, but it's not packaged in Ubuntu at least, and I imagine there are more Pythony solutions around. Can anyone suggest something?
- it might be useful to debianise the package so it was easier to create mirrors; I know a fair amount about building .debs but I'm not familiar with packaging Python programs, so any help with that is welcome.
- if an item which was once seen is later reported missing on the server, remove all record of it from the index.
- the long-threatened switch to remove the distinction between Yarrow accounts and GROGGS accounts, using your GROGGS shared-secret as a password to log into Yarrow instead of a separate step. This would remove most of the problem of Yarrow mirrors not sharing user databases.
