Absolutely. In addition to menu problems, there are grid problems, but when I tested against 2.9.4 it mostly worked just fine. I'd love to support Phoenix and Python 3.3. >> Dabo's reportwriter wants dataset-like structures, which is a sequence >> (list, tuple) >> of mappings (dict), where each key in the mapping is a field name, and each >> item in >> the outer sequence is a "record". > When defining the fields in the report designer could I do something like > "getMyRelInfo(self.Record, 'rel1.rel2.fieldname')" and getMyRelInfo would > return the > fields content or blank?
