[Zope] Iteration Over Non-sequence

8 Mar 2007

      Hi;
I've written this code:

<html>
<body>
<span tal:define="global number here/quotes/randomNumber"></span>
<table><tr><td>
<span metal:use-macro="here/en-us/quotes/?number/macros/quote"></span><br />
</td></tr></table>
</body>
<html>

...and here's randomNumber, which is an External Method:

def randomNumber(self):
   return randrange(1, len(self.objectValues()), 1)

but it throws this error which ends with "Iteration over non-sequence". Well, the folder from which it's supposed to select a quote holds nothing but a sequential number of page templates (named 1, 2, 3...). What am I doing wrong?
TIA,
Tony
