No, you didn't provide the exact code you're running. You provided a selected snippet you deemed important, but because you don't actually know what the problem is and where it is, your determination of what's important is not helpful. You actually managed to snip away the part that causes the problem. The code snipped you posted earlier showed cgi.FieldStorage being called once. The code you're posting now makes it clear that cgi.FieldStorage is actually called multiple times in a loop: > [snip...] > def optionsPrintout(table): > form = cgi.FieldStorage() > fn = getattr(options, table) > ourOptionsNames = [] > optionsNames, doNotUse = fn('names') > > [snip...] > > for table in storesTables: > [snip...] > print optionsPrintout(table) > [snip ...] The problem is that the first call to cgi.FieldStorage() consumes all POST variables that were given to the script, so any subsequent call reads an empty file and results in an empty FieldStorage object. Rewrite your code to construct the FieldStorage object once and refer to that one object in every pass of the loop. As you can see, and as I suspected, it's not a bug in the cgi module. -- Carsten Haese http://informixdb.sourceforge.net -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
