It's the strangest thing, I'm pulling some text out of a MySQL table and trying to run exec on it, and it keeps giving me a syntax error, always at the end of the first line.
Thanks in advance for any help. I'm really stuck on this one! -Greg I'm not sure what information would be most useful but here's a start: The last code I stored in the table and pulled out was simply: print 'greg' print 'greg2' To which my error log says: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/public/web/webapi.py", line 303, in wsgifunc result = func() File "/home/public/web/request.py", line 125, in <lambda> func = lambda: handle(inp, fvars) File "/home/public/web/request.py", line 61, in handle return tocall(*([urllib.unquote(x) for x in args] + fna)) File "/home/public/EZsession.py", line 119, in proxyfunc return func(self, *args, **kw) File "/home/htdocs/code.py", line 94, in POST print utility.run(name,revision,inp) File "/home/public/utility.py", line 177, in run exec code+'\n' in context File "<string>", line 1 print 'greg' ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax (Note the ^ actually appears under after the ' ) To really get a picture of what is coming out of the DB I had the program print out everything about this string using this code: print code print repr(code) print type(code) for char in code: print ord(char),char To which I got: print 'greg' print 'greg2' "print 'greg'\r\nprint 'greg2'" <type 'str'> 112 p 114 r 105 i 110 n 116 t 32 39 ' 103 g 114 r 101 e 103 g 39 ' 13 10 112 p 114 r 105 i 110 n 116 t 32 39 ' 103 g 114 r 101 e 103 g 50 2 39 ' -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
