And you were right! This is not seen as as a valid dictionary (nor is it seen as a string):
stuff = container.externalmethod(feedurl=feedurl) test = same_type(stuff, {}) print test return printed
returns "0"
However, interestingly enough, if I copy and paste the all the text that is returned by the external method into the script, I am able to confirm that it is a dictionary:
stuff= {'lastbuilddate': u'Mon, 24 Jul 2006 12:06:18 EDT', u'subtitle': 'U.S.', u'generator': 'NPR/RSS Generator 2.0 etc...'}
In this case you are using the Python syntax to create a dictionary, so it's not a surprise when it *is* a dictionary... Are you sure that your external method returns this *text*? It seems that you are looking at the string representation of some dictionary-like object. You can convert any dictionary-like object into a true dictionary using the builtin function dict: d = dict(an_object_that_acts_like_a_dictionary) Gabriel Genellina Softlab SRL __________________________________________________ Pregunt�.
