if you're talking about using it in a Python Script, you want to use same_type - type is supposedly a security risk for some reason... http://www.zopelabs.com/cookbook/995873707 Gilles Lenfant wrote:

Is there changes in this usual Python builtin ?

import types

if type(x) == types.UnicodeType:

Error Type: UnboundLocalError Error Value: local variable 'type' referenced before assignment

Don't assign to 'type' in your method. Use a different name for the local variable. -D -- Folly delights a man who lacks judgement, but a man of understanding keeps a straight course. Proverbs 15:21 http://dman13.dyndns.org/~dman/
