New issue 220 by rei...@gmail.com: _replicator database cannot be used
http://code.google.com/p/couchdb-python/issues/detail?id=220

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Connect to the dbs (couchdb = couchdb.Server('http://localhost:5984)
2. Try to use the '_replicator' to create replication documents (db =
couch['_replicator'] . '_users' is usable so looks like the "_" is not the
problem.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
'_replicator' should be used without problems. This is the error:

File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>

File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/CouchDB-0.8-py2.7.egg/couchdb/client.py",
line 136, in __getitem__
db = Database(self.resource(name), validate_dbname(name))

File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/CouchDB-0.8-py2.7.egg/couchdb/client.py",
line 1075, in validate_dbname
raise ValueError('Invalid database name')
ValueError: Invalid database name


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
CouchDB.0.8 from easy_install. OS is Mint 14, but also failed on Debian 6
