+- update to 1.6.2:
+ * WebOb's exceptions will lazily read underlying variables when inserted into
+   templates to avoid expensive computations/crashes when inserting into the
+   template. This had a bad performance regression on Py27 because of the way
+   the lazified class was created and returned. See
+   https://github.com/Pylons/webob/pull/284
