Form-Through-Script Nightmare
Hi; I originally submitted this to the Zope list, but after no replies and realizing it's probably better suited for the python list, I'm submitting it here. I have a form where purchasers can deselect items they've added to their shopping cart. All the hidden fields have been numbered according to the items they *originally* selected. If they deselect an item, then it will probably necessitate a renumbering of all those hidden fields, since PayPal doesn't tolerate misnumbering: everything must be numbered "1" for all the hidden fields of the first product, "2" for the second, etc. If the customer selects 5 products and deletes the 3rd, then I need to renumber. I wrote a script that can do that. Now, I have to send the form to that script, with all its lovely hidden fields, then reproduce it somewhere so I can send it off to PP. That is, the form must return from the called script to a new page and deliver all the renumbered hidden fields. ? Let me summarize what I've written before to put in one post exactly what's going on: 1)?I have a form that I need to send to a script and then send off to a URL (PayPal). I need to process it through the script to renumber things for PP. How do I do this? I imagine I add an element to the PT like so: but I need to pass a parameter "doc", which, of course, is the document I'm submitting. So I tried this: which renders my page fine, but throws an error when I submit the form: Cannot locate object at: http://example.com/s/c/x/j/en-us/s/renumberTheCart%28here meaning, of course, that it didn't receive the required parameter. 2) I changed it to an absolute URL just to double-check, and got basically the same error: ? Invalid request The parameter, doc, was omitted from the request. How do I pass the parameter, which in my case is quite long and stashed neatly away in a PT macro? http://example.com/s/renumberTheCart?doc=docs"; method="post">? ? Now, Tom Von Lahndorff suggested the following: Sounds like the script should check to see if the user is removing something like: if remove remove the item redirect back to the udpated form page else send to PP this way once the item is removed and the same script is called, since there's no remove this time, it'll go to PP. I would LOVE to do that...if I knew how! Any ideas? TIA, Tony ? Invalid request The parameter, doc, was omitted from the request.

Editing MS Word
Hi; I'm trying to edit MS Word tables with a python script. Here's a snippet: import string def msw2htmlTables(): input = "/usr/home/me/test.doc" input = open(input,'r') word = "whatever" inputFlag = 0 splitString = [] for line in input: # Check first the inputFlag, since we only want to delete the top if inputFlag == 0: splitString = line.split(word) try: keep = splitString[1] except: keep = "nada" print len(splitString) inputFlag = 1 elif inputFlag == 1: # This means we've deleted the top junk. Let's search for the bottom junk. splitString = line.split(word) try: keep = splitString[0] inputFlag = 2 print len(splitString) except: keep += line elif inputFlag == 2: # This means everything else is junk. pass Now, if var "word" is "orange", it will never pring the length of splitString. If it's "dark", it will. The only difference is the way they appear in the document. "orange" appears with a space character to the left and some MS garbage character to the right, while "dark" appears with a space character to the left and a comma to the right. Furthermore, if I use MSW junk characters as the definition of "word" (such as " Ù ", which is what I really need to search), it never even compiles (complains of an unpaired quote). It appears that python doesn't like MSW's junk characters. What shall I do? TIA, Tony Email and AIM finally together.

PIL Problem
Hi; I´ve installed Zope 2.10.5 on top of Python 2.4.2 (not optimal, but it will work, according to the build instructions). I installed Plone 3.0.2 and I get errors when I crank up Zope, all related to a non-existent PIL. So I d/l/d the latest PIL, plopped it in my Extensions dir, ran this: python setup.py build_ext -i and got this: running build_ext building '_imagingtk' extension creating build/temp.freebsd-5.5-RELEASE-i386-2.4/Tk cc -fno-strict-aliasing -DNDEBUG -O -pipe -D__wchar_t=wchar_t -DTHREAD_STACK_SIZE=0x10 -fPIC -I/usr/local/include/freetype2 -IlibImaging -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/include -I/usr/local/include/python2.4 -c _imagingtk.c -o build/temp.freebsd-5.5-RELEASE-i386-2.4/_imagingtk.o _imagingtk.c:20:16: tk.h: No such file or directory _imagingtk.c:23: error: syntax error before '*' token _imagingtk.c:31: error: syntax error before "Tcl_Interp" _imagingtk.c: In function `_tkinit': _imagingtk.c:37: error: `Tcl_Interp' undeclared (first use in this function) _imagingtk.c:37: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once _imagingtk.c:37: error: for each function it appears in.) _imagingtk.c:37: error: `interp' undeclared (first use in this function) _imagingtk.c:45: error: syntax error before ')' token _imagingtk.c:50: error: `app' undeclared (first use in this function) _imagingtk.c: At top level: _imagingtk.c:55: warning: parameter names (without types) in function declaration _imagingtk.c:55: error: conflicting types for 'TkImaging_Init' _imagingtk.c:23: error: previous declaration of 'TkImaging_Init' was here _imagingtk.c:55: error: conflicting types for 'TkImaging_Init' _imagingtk.c:23: error: previous declaration of 'TkImaging_Init' was here _imagingtk.c:55: warning: data definition has no type or storage class _imagingtk.c:57: error: syntax error before '&' token error: command 'cc' failed with exit status 1 What do?

Automatically Writing a Dictionary
Hi;
I have data in a file and I would like to write it to a dictionary, and then
perform commands on it, something like this:
input = "/usr/local/machine-lang-trans/dictionary.txt"
input = open(input,'r')
dict = "{"
for line in input:
? tup = re.split(','line)
? dict += '"' + tup[0] +'":"' + tup[1] +'", '
dict += "}"
input.close()
Of course, that will just give me a string. How do I convert it to, or make
from scratch, a dictionary of that?
TIA,
Tony

Re: Automatically Writing a Dictionary
d = {}?
? for line in input:?
? key, value = line.split(',').rstrip('\n')?
? d[key] = value?
Thanks. That worked except for the rstrip. So I did this:
for line in input:
? line = string.rstrip(line, '\n')
? key, value = line.split(',')
? dictionary[key] = value
Thanks again,
Tony

Don't bother with the string (and as a side-note, it's bad style to mask the
built-in dict() so I'll use "d"):?
?
? d = {}?
? for line in input:?
? key, value = line.split(',').rstrip('\n')?
? d[key] = value?
?
or even just?
?
? d = dict(line.split(',').rstrip('\n')?
? for line in input)?
?
using the aforementioned dict() function :-)?
?
You may want to clean it up a bit in case there are spurious leading/trailing
spaces to be trimmed:?
?
? from string import strip?
? d = dict(map(strip, line.split(','))?
? for line in input)?
?
or even ignore lines with the wrong number of commas:?
?
? d = dict(map(strip, line.split(','))?
? for line in input?
? if line.count(',') == 1)?
?
or assume any extra commas are part of the value:?
?
? d = dict(map(strip, line.split(',',1))?
? for line in input?
? if line.count(',') > 0)?
