If I return lines_check(lines), then it just sends back:
lines is type: lines has value:
Nothing?? Uh.... that's pretty weird.
Yet if I replace that - in exactly the same place, with return lines, then it returns the expected value of lines.
Even weirder. So let's grasp at the next straw, shall we? Doing a quick grep over sping, it would appear that the stringformat module (which you import) also uses a variable called lines. It *looks* like it defines & used it locally, but I didn't do any real analysis. Let's just work on the assumption that it's more than a coincidence that *your* lines variable gets busted at some point after you make use of a module that *also* has a lines variable. Give this a try: ----------------------- # lines changed to my_lines def run(self) REQUEST = self.REQUEST fileID = REQUEST.fileId my_lines = REQUEST.lines[:] # make a copy, for grins import sping.stringformat from sping.PDF import PDFCanvas from sping.PS import PSCanvas filename="c:/zopepdf/"+fileID canvas = PDFCanvas(size=(350,200), name=filename) y = 20 for line in my_lines: sping.stringformat.drawString(canvas, line, 10,y) y += 20 canvas.flush() canvas.save() return fileID ----------------------- Getting warmer?
