Hello Peter,

We try to support python 2.6 as well, so I consider this a bug I will fix
right away.

The error occurs when links in a page are index. So probably you end up
with a valid index for the notebook structure, but without an index of
links. So in the export e.g. listing backlinks in the template probably
will fail.

Otherwise you should be fine.

Regards,

Jaap
