i wanted to deploy on an appspot account so i've named my app using an dash
ash-dev3
this stoped me from uploading images for my avatar message was "Could not
validate avatar path"

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. chose an dash name application name for appspot
2. deploy it

to solve it i've changed the validation regexp from common\patterns.py
from
AVATAR_PARTIAL_PATH_RE = r'(default|(?P<nick>#?\w+@[\w\.]+))/(?P<path>.*)'
to 
AVATAR_PARTIAL_PATH_RE =
r'(default|(?P<nick>#?\w+@[\w<b>\-</b>\.]+))/(?P<path>.*)'

sorry, the new regexp was
AVATAR_PARTIAL_PATH_RE = r'(default|(?P<nick>#?\w+@[\w\-\.]+))/(?P<path>.*)'

i've put the  hopeing that \- will show in bold
