HI all !
I started to read the following code (I will start working on it when
this problem is fixed) and it looks OK while I read it. But for some
reason it doesn't work...
Here is the code:

import sys
sys.path.append('/lib/python1.5') # My ISP requires this to
correctly locate Python Modules
import cgi, re, string # Import all the required modules
try:
useHead=open("head.txt", "r") # Open the HTML header file
useFoot=open("foot.txt", "r") # Open the HTML footer file
ContentLine="Content-type: text/html" # Standard content type for
HTML files
useform=cgi.FieldStorage() # Assign all variables on
web form to UseForm variable
email= useform["email"].value # Assign from form to local
variables. Proposed email address
email2= useform["email2"].value # ditto, verified email address
password= useform["password"].value # ditto, proposed password
password2= useform["password2"].value # ditto, verified password
action=useform["action"].value # ditto, action, i.e
subscribe or unsubscribe
try:
optout=useform["optout"].value # ditto, optout clause, yes or no
except: # I've enclosed this in a try/except
optout='no' # as if the checkbox is
unchecked, nothing
# was returned. This way
'no' is returned
print ContentLine # Print standard content line
print # Needs a blank line following
print useHead.read() # Print HTML header
if email!=email2: # Checks to see if two
entered email addresses match
print "Email addresses do not match" # If no match print error
sys.exit(0) # Exit script with error 0
elif password!=password2: # Checks to see if two
entered passwords match
print "Passwords do not match" # If no match print error
sys.exit(0) # Exit script with error 0
useMailList=open("maillist.txt", "r") # Open mailling list
memMailList=useMailList.readlines() # Assign mailing list to
internal list
useMailList.close # Close mailing list
found=0 # Create found variable
counter=0 # Create counter variable
for UseLine in memMailList: # For loop until list end is reached
if string.find(string.upper(UseLine), string.upper(email))!=-1:
# Checks to see if email is in mailing list
found=1 # If yes, found = true (1)
UseSplit=re.split(',',UseLine) # Create list of found line
and delimit with a comma
break # Exit for loop
counter=counter+1 # If not found incrememnt
count and repeat
if not found: # If email address not
found in mailing list
if action=="unsubscribe": # And if action is unsubscribe
print "Email address <B>"+email+"</B> does not exist on our
database" # Print error message
else: # Otherwise
lineuse=email+","+password+','+optout+"\n" # Form valid
mailing list entry
memMailList.append(lineuse) # Add to internal list
print "Subscription for <B>"+email+"</B> successful<P>"
#Print success to HTML
print "Many thanks for subscribing. Please be sure to make a note"
print "of the email address you subscribed with. You will only"
print "be able to unsubscribe if you use that email address."
else: # Otherwise if email
address not found in mailing list
if action=="unsubscribe": # And if actions is unsubscribe
if password==UseSplit[1]: # If password is valid
memMailList[counter]='' # Empty internal mailing list entry
print "Unsubscription for <B>"+email+"</B> successful" #
Print unsubscribe success to HTML
else: # Otherwise if password not valid
print "Unsubscription for <B>"+email+"</B> unsuccessful.
Password is invalid" # Print unsubscribe unsuccessful to HTML
print "Remember that passwords are case sensitive. i.e.
password is not the same as PassWord"
else: # Otherwise if subscribe
print "Subscription for <B>"+email+"</B> already exists" #
Print subscription already exists to HTML
finally: # Finally
useMailList=open("maillist.txt", "w") # Open Mailing List for writing
useMailList.writelines(memMailList) # Copy internal mailing list to file
useMailList.close # Close mailing list
print useFoot.read() # Print HTML footer
useHead.close; # Close HTML header
useFoot.close; # Close HTML footer
When I run it on my server I get a 500 error, and when I run it as a
normal python script (from windows) I get this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\maillist.py", line 80, in ?
useMailList.writelines(memMailList) # Copy internal mailing list to file
NameError: name 'memMailList' is not defined
Whats wrong ??
Not only that memMailList is defined, its used a couple of times in
previous lines in the code...
BTW, the code was taken from:
http://www.programmedintegration.com/cgi-bin/pages.py?pmaillist
Thanks.
