This seems ok.

Why this? 1) your python script can read request just fine. No
need for clumsy code in ZPT
2) your code below returns a list, so all you get
is the string representation of a list. Works
but does not look so fine ;)

You call balance as function by using ().
Try your function in the interactive interpreter if
unsure, e.g.
balance = 5000
rate = 8 # in percent I assume? You should state that in the form
years = 4
newbalance = balance * (1+rate/100.0) ** years
if you output newbalance, you will see if it does what you want.
if you transfer it into the python script,
replace the assignments with
balance = context.REQUEST.get("balance",0)
rate = context.REQUEST.get("rate",0)
years = context.REQUEST.get("years",0)
and
return newbalance
at the end.
(You can also skip the variable and return the
result of the expression directly)
I'd point the form to itself and make
the output just below it.
thats all.

[Zope] Float object not callable (newbie question)
hi all, I'm trying to write a simple app which takes a name, bank balance, interest rate and returns the balance once 1 years interest has been added. I'm getting the error that float object is not callable. i can't figure out where i'm going wrong :S my code is below(getDetails, showDetails,doStuff.py), thanks for any input! paul. NAME BALANCE INTEREST RATE -- -- years = 1 newBal = balance( balance*(rate*years)) returnList = [name,newBal] return returnList ___ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
