I've isolated the problem in the print-out at the bottom of this post.
It occurs when these values are passed:
['LastDatePrice', 'date', '10', 'yyyy/mm/dd', None],
Since this is the first datetime that is passed, it would appear to be
associated with such values, which are processed thus:
elif typeName == 'datetime':
Where does the value of typeName come from?
print "<input type='text' width='%s' maxlength='%s' name='%s'
value='%s' /> " \
"<i>This field takes a datetime up to %s alphanumeric characters
inclusive.</i>" \
% (shortNum, str(typeNum), colName, theVal, str(typeNum))
colName == 'LastDatePrice'
typeNum = 10
elif 10 < int(typeNum) < 20:
If typeNum is 10 then 10 < int(typeNum) < 20 is False.
shortNum = '10'
Therefore...
shortNum = '10'
if whatDo == 'insert':
theVal = defaultVal
val = defaultVal
What's the difference between theVal and val? The names don't help me!
:-)
Since whatDo == 'insert'...
and
val = 'yyyy/mm/dd'
therefore
theVal = None
Now, this value of None doesn't cause any problems with the other values
printed out. This is the code:
print 'printTheForm: ', descrProds, '<br />'
for value in descrProds:
print 'value: ', value, '<br />'
that produces this print-out:
printTheForm: [['ID', 'tinyint', '5', '0', None], ['SKU', 'varchar',
'40', '', None], ['Category', 'varchar', '40', '', None], ['Name',
'varchar', '50', '', None], ['Title', 'varchar', '100', '', None],
['Description', 'mediumtext', '100', '', None], ['Price', 'float', '8',
'0.0', None], ['SortFactor', 'int', '4', '0', None], ['Availability',
'tinyint', '1', '0', '1'], ['OutOfStock', 'tinyint', '1', '0', '0'],
['ShipFlatFee', 'float', '5', '0.0', '0.00'], ['ShipPercentPrice',
'tinyint', '2', '0', '0'], ['ShipPercentWeight', 'tinyint', '2', '0',
'0'], ['Associations', 'varchar', '40', '', None], ['TempPrice',
'tinyint', '1', '0', None], ['LastDatePrice', 'date', '10',
'yyyy/mm/dd', None], ['Weight', 'float', '7', '0.0', None], ['Metal',
'enum', ['14k gold', '18k gold', 'white gold', 'silver', 'tungsten',
'titanium'], '', None], ['PercentMetal', 'tinyint', '2', '0', None],
['colorsShadesNumbersShort', 'set', [''], '', None]]
value: ['ID', 'tinyint', '5', '0', None]
value: ['SKU', 'varchar', '40', '', None]
value: ['Category', 'varchar', '40', '', None]
value: ['Name', 'varchar', '50', '', None]
value: ['Title', 'varchar', '100', '', None]
value: ['Description', 'mediumtext', '100', '', None]
value: ['Price', 'float', '8', '0.0', None]
value: ['SortFactor', 'int', '4', '0', None]
value: ['Availability', 'tinyint', '1', '0', '1']
value: ['OutOfStock', 'tinyint', '1', '0', '0']
value: ['ShipFlatFee', 'float', '5', '0.0', '0.00']
value: ['ShipPercentPrice', 'tinyint', '2', '0', '0']
value: ['ShipPercentWeight', 'tinyint', '2', '0', '0']
value: ['Associations', 'varchar', '40', '', None]
value: ['TempPrice', 'tinyint', '1', '0', None]
value: ['LastDatePrice', 'date', '10', 'yyyy/mm/dd', None]
If in fact the problem has to do with the None value, how can I easily
substitute a different value? I tried:
if theVal == None:
The Pythonic way is to use "is" when comparing with singletons like
None.
theVal = ''
but that didn't capture it.
What do you mean by "didn't capture it"?
