Also asked on StackOverflow http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13918785/django-ldap-search-results-disappear
Why in the code below, does the global *direktorie* return the correct data in the *login()* debug template, yet when I try to access the same variable from *autoname()* it says the list has a length of *0*? I don't reference * direktorie* in any other places in *views.py* -- or anywhere else for that matter. (All of the code below is merely an attempt to discover what I'm doing wrong. I don't really care about the length of the returned list. I just want to know it's being seen and has roughly the right number of entries.) ############################################################################## from django.http import HttpResponse, HttpResponseRedirect, Http404from django.shortcuts import render_to_response, get_object_or_404import json # JSON for jQuery AJAX autocompletefrom eldappery import * # LDAP for jQuery AJAX autocomplete direktorie = [] ############################################################################## def login(request): """LDAP Login routine""" global direktorie if request.method == "POST": # If submitted... if request.POST["username"] and request.POST["password"]: username = request.POST["username"] password = request.POST["password"] LDAPfeed = dapperize(username, password) # ...login if LDAPfeed: direktorie = fetch_names(LDAPfeed,"") # ...get everybody ls = locals() # DEBUG! gs = globals() # DEBUG! return render_to_response("debug.html", {"ls": ls, "gs": gs}) # DEBUG!
