I am trying to use StructuredText outside Zope. I can import it fine, but when I try to use it I get:

File "ST.py", line 113, in StructuredText paragraphs = expandtabs(paragraphs) File "/usr/lib/python2.1/string.py", line 295, in expandtabs return s.expandtabs(tabsize) AttributeError: expandtabs Apparently, your "s" is not a string...
That is what I was concluding, the question is, Why not? I took my structured text file from a zope (CMF) document from the same machine, where it works fine. The issue _seems_ to me to be that it works fine from withni Zope, but not from without. Same Zope machine, same Zope code, same structured text. :(
What's the value of 'raw'? % python Python 2.1.1 (#3, Jul 20 2001, 15:19:25) [GCC egcs-2.91.66 19990314/Linux (egcs-1.1.2 release)] on linux2 Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
from StructuredText import StructuredText StructuredText.Basic("Paragraph.") StructuredTextDocument([ StructuredTextParagraph(Paragraph., [ ]), ])
If i was sure 'raw' was a string, on getting the traceback i would resort to debugging using pdb post-mortem - 'import pdb; pdb.pm()'. Examine the value of 's' in the bottom stack frame, and then ascend the stack with 'u' and poke around there... Hope this helps... Ken klm@zope.com

As it turns out, I was forgetting the .read() on reading the file, and consequently was sending s as a file descriptor :) Fixed and working perfectly now ... though I found something that needs patched. :) ST and STNG return <li><p> for list items, when only the <li> should be returned. THis causes some nastyeffects when converting to html, and then to htmldoc-built pdf files. The line item appears a line below the bullet point. Bill
