TargetIPAddrList[0] and TargetIPPortList[0] are *not* a string and an
int, respectively. They're both DOM elements. If you want an int, you
have to explicitly cast the variable as an int. Type matters in
Python:
>>> '0' == 0
False
Back to your code: try a couple debugging print statements to see
exactly what your variables are. The built-in type() function should
help.
To fix the problem, you need to dig a little deeper in the DOM, e.g.:
addr = TargetIPAddrList[0].firstChild.nodeValue
try:
port = int(TargetIPPortList[0].firstChild.nodeValue)
except ValueError: # safely handle invalid strings for int
port = 0
if addr and port:
StillNeedSettings = False
TestSettingsStore.SettingsDictionary['TargetIPAddr'] = addr
TestSettingsStore.SettingsDictionary['TargetIPPort'] = port
