portions of your code and the traceback appears to be missing, so it's a bit hard to tell what you're really doing here, but that error message usually means that you're using the % string formatting operator with named placeholders in the string template, but with something that's not a dictionary as the data. an example: >>> "%(name)s" % 10 Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: format requires a mapping either switch to positional markers, or put the data in a dictionary (or any other object that implements the mapping interface). </F> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
