Are you sure you're supposed to be getting the query string from your operating system environment? It seems more likely that you were intending to get it from the request. It's not clear exactly what you're intending this code to do, but if you want to get the quesry string from the request, try replacing this line: user_id, banner_id, page = os.environ['QUERY_STRING'].split("&") with this: r = context.REQUEST user_id, banner_id, page = r['user_id'], r['banner_id'], r['page'] but change the names of the query string variables if they're different.

Hi; I have this external method:

import string, os

user_id, banner_id, page = os.environ['QUERY_STRING'].split("&") redirect = "http://www.myaffiliateprogram.com/u/%(user_id)s/t.asp?id=%(banner_id)s&p=% (page)s" % locals() print "Location: %(redirect)s\n" % locals()

but when I try and instantiate it as an external method I get this error:
