I think I have found some strange behaviour in Pylons and it is repeatable. It is related to _ (gettext) function and having debug sessions with nice Pylons 'Error Traceback' console
How to repeat: 1) request /testing/debug which raises exception on purpose code: class TestingController(MyBaseController): def debug(self): raise debugging_console_in_browser() 1a) use the console to inspect some variables. code: request.cookies in my case it gives: >>> request.cookies {'portal': '55da4a783da7a244abe0258bc769fdeb8c997d6274ddde81afe285239fb5e441'} 2) request another valid page which uses i18n gettext in Mako template, i.e ${_('hello')} and this page should not throw any error 2b) this page will raise exception saying - depending on one's inspections of variables in previous request: - exceptions.TypeError: 'dict' object is not callable - or: exceptions.TypeError: 'unicode' object is not callable - or a list is not callable - etc... 2c) Stacktrace (in case with showing 'request.cookies' variable in console in 1st request): File '.../project/controllers/testing.py', line 8 in i18n return render('/testing/i18n.tmpl') File '/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/Pylons-0.9.6.1-py2.4.egg/pylons/templating.py', line 343 in render format=format, namespace=kargs, **cache_args) File '/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/Pylons-0.9.6.1-py2.4.egg/pylons/templating.py', line 227 in render return engine_config['engine'].render(namespace, template=full_path, File '/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/Mako-0.1.9-py2.4.egg/mako/ext/turbogears.py', line 49 in render return template.render(**info) File '/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/Mako-0.1.9-py2.4.egg/mako/template.py', line 114 in render return runtime._render(self, self.callable_, args, data) File '/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/Mako-0.1.9-py2.4.egg/mako/runtime.py', line 287 in _render _render_context(template, callable_, context, *args, **_kwargs_for_callable(callable_, data)) File '/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/Mako-0.1.9-py2.4.egg/mako/runtime.py', line 304 in _render_context _exec_template(inherit, lclcontext, args=args, kwargs=kwargs) File '/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/Mako-0.1.9-py2.4.egg/mako/runtime.py', line 337 in _exec_template callable_(context, *args, **kwargs) File '/.../project/data/templates/base.tmpl.py', line 83 in render_body context.write(unicode(self.default_content())) File '/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/Mako-0.1.9-py2.4.egg/mako/runtime.py', line 193 in <lambda> return lambda *args, **kwargs:callable_(self.context, *args, **kwargs) File '/.../project/data/templates/base.tmpl.py', line 207 in render_default_content context.write(unicode(next.body())) File '/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/Mako-0.1.9-py2.4.egg/mako/runtime.py', line 193 in <lambda> return lambda *args, **kwargs:callable_(self.context, *args, **kwargs) File '.../project/data/templates/testing/i18n.tmpl.py', line 57 in render_body context.write(unicode(_('hello'))) TypeError: 'dict' object is not callable 2d) when printing _ in current console it says!: >>> _ {'portal': '55da4a783da7a244abe0258bc769fdeb8c997d6274ddde81afe285239fb5e441'} WHAT IS IN FACT a variable inspected in 1st request but should be gettext function 3) so it looks that _ was substituted to whatever I have last used in previous request's debug session's console !? 4) now all requests using _ in templates will fail 5) rm -rf data/templates/* data/sessions/* helps ;) -- _i______'simplicity_is_the_key'__________tomasz_nazar _ii____'i_am_concern_oriented'________________JKM-UPR _iii__'patsystem.sf.net'___________________linux_user _'aspectized.com'___________________________prevayler --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
