ametaireau/pelican — Issue #233: Critical error with latest version of pelican command

Running 174f1b50c8 version of "pelican -s sample.conf.py" produces the following error:

CRITICAL: __init__() takes at most 3 arguments (5 given)

I installed Pelican via two different methods, but both methods yielded the same error above.

Installation method 1:

mkvirtualenv pelican
git clone git://github.com/ametaireau/pelican.git
cd pelican
python setup.py develop

Installation method 2:

mkvirtualenv pelican
pip install -e git://github.com/ametaireau/pelican#egg=pelican

These errors occurred with a stock version of the sample pelican.conf.py settings file and with the default theme.

I suspect this problem was introduced in commit 8009324a3b from pull request #230. (I don't see any tests associated with these new changes; perhaps some tests would be helpful in preventing this from recurring in the future.)
