Maybe I am really missing something here, but for some time, I have been trying to figure out why when I pass a list to a python script, it becomes a sequence of characters. When I duplicate the process within the interpreter, it works as I expect it to. An example to demonstrate what I am talking about: Interpreter test-
listDef = [1,2,3,4,5] def foo(x): ... for member in x: .... print member ... foo(listDef) 1 2 3 4 5
In Zope, if I create the equivalent of the foo function in a python script, passing a list in the parameter field, I get the following: 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 Or if I test the script with the following value for the parameter - [1,2,3,4,5] - I get: [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , ] so ... len(theList) returns a value that represents the count of all characters in the list definition - not the number of items in the list. Any enlightenment here would be greatly appreciated. I hesitate to call 'BUG' cause it might be me that is 'buggy'... TIA Eric
