The problem is that for some reason, the registration expects 
localserver.py to have a class named 'regmodule2'.  I'm afraid I am not 
too sure exactly what is going on here and dont have time to setup a 
similar test environment - but after registration, you should be able to 
look in the registry for the objects you registered.  These will 
nominate the module and class names used by this class.  See what you 
can track down there.
