Arch Linux

Description:
The 'Sharing over the net' feature does not work if the user sets a password of any kind. This works fine if the official binary is used, but not with the arch package on the same system. The site asks for a username and password, and then once entered it returns an error 500 from cherrypy

Additional info:
Package version: calibre-2.25.0-1
python error raised when trying to access the site:

Have posted a bug report to calibre's bug tracker, but they don't accept bug reports for distro packages, and their official binary works fine.

Steps to reproduce:
Go to settings > Sharing over the net, and enter a port, username, and password. Start the server then click test, enter your username and password, and observe the internal server eror. Repeat this without a password and it should work fine.
