After clean-installing the RC1 with easy_install, I wanted to create a new site with rb-site. The 
tool detected the environment correctly, asked all the questions and began working. 
Unfortunately, it bailed out when building the site configuration files:

* Installing the site...
Building site directories ... OK
Building site configuration files ... OK
Unable to read settings_local.py.

Please see http://www.review-board.org/docs/manual/dev/admin/
for help setting up Review Board.

I suspected configuration problems, but could find nothing obvious any my python skills are 
nowhere near good enough to fix this on my own.

Downgrading to Beta2 helped though and the scrip ran through without issue which is why I'm 
reporting this here and not just putting it off to an awkward local configuration.

What version are you running?
1.0rc1, Ubuntu Hardy, Python 2.5.2


What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. run rb-site install <any path>
2. answer all questions

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expect the site to be created, but I'm getting above error message.

What operating system are you using? What browser?

Ubuntu hardy. Browser doesn't matter as this happens during installation.

Please comment on how I can help you debug this. I'd love to see this fixed for me as I do not 
intend on being stuck at beta2 for the forseeable future :-)

Well, that's an unfortunate regression. Are you able to rb-site upgrade using RC1?
From my tests, that works.
