It looks like the problem has been identified for those of us who have recently tried this walkthrough. The latest version of beautiful soup is giving us an html parser error and the folks at sourceforge have given us the steps to uninstall version 3.1.x and to download version 3.0.7:
I agonized over this for a couple of days. It turns out this error is a result of the latest version of BeautifulSoup, one of the Python modules that Sipie is based on. Version 3.1.x will generate the error we're seeing. Version 3.0.7 works properly. 3.1.x has been the official release since January 6, which explains why sipie isn't currently working for a lot of people.

First you have to uninstall the latest version of BeautifulSoup. I found a script easy_uninstall.py on the net which will do that for you.

Then the following:

sudo python easy_uninstall.py BeautifulSoup
wget http://www.crummy.com/software/Beaut...p-3.0.7.tar.gz
tar zxvf BeautifulSoup-3.0.7.tar.gz
cd BeautifulSoup-3.0.7
sudo python setup.py install

And you should be good!
Now my problem. I was able to download version 3.0.7, but I'm not 100% sure on how to uninstall version 3.1.x. It also looks like the steps given above are in R&D mode, but I am in ssh mode. Can anyone help me on what script to type in order to get the correct version of BeautifulSoup to work? Thanks.
