Sorry for the delay, easter weekend:
I know you don't need to prefill the variables with python, and they
weren't there originally, I was just getting frustrated and trying
various things to see if they worked. There is actually no stacktrace
error. It will just print me the error message that I have when I try
to send the variables outside of the if loop. (from the try - except
statement.) I can still run click the button and it'll do it again.
There are three rows that I have to get out of my xml all the same
except with different values:
< row name="CharName" charID="IDNumber" >
So it prints out the first of the three lines and then just says
"Error Reading XML" if I'm running the buildlist() and trying to send
the variables out. As long as I don't try to do anything, it works
fine.
I can get these out and print them to the cmd line. But I want to
collect these in a variable and send it back off to my gui in pyqt4 to
list them. which is where i'm getting stuck.
