I *think* I've created a getUserNames python method that returns the
appropriate results:


Parameter list:
self

Body:

 user_ids=self.UserSource.getPersistentItemIDs()

 names=[]
 for i in user_ids:
     names.append(self.getItem(i))
 return names


I basically copied the Membership getMembers python method for this.

Guess what? It still doesn't work.

I don't understand the differences between the code I pasted above and
the code on the original getUserNames method (from :

    def getUserNames(self):
        """Return a list of usernames"""
        names=self.data.keys()
        names.sort()
        return names

Can anyone tell me what I need to fix?
