- When creating a Configurator from within a ``paster pshell`` session, you

  were required to pass a ``package`` argument although ``package`` is not
  actually required.  If you didn't pass ``package``, you would receive an
  error something like ``KeyError: '__name__'`` emanating from the
  ``pyramid.path.caller_module`` function.  This has now been fixed.

 - The ``pyramid_routesalchemy`` paster template's unit tests failed
   (``AssertionError: 'SomeProject' != 'someproject'``).  This is fixed.
