Thanks for the tip. There was the bug. I had installed python-support 0.8.7, whose update-python-modules script require a directory as argument. I upgraded to python-support 1.0.3 and everything went well with cherokee as update-python-modules now accepts a text file. I guess, then, that the bug is in the package dependencies of python.
