See, the problem lies not with Zope in this case, but with general python programming and web programming. So all I can do is give you pointers; how to debug, and how to fill in more context to understand what is going on.

Re: [Zope] Need Help--urgently
In your python script: mlist = context.code(uparam) do something with mlist here In your external method: def code(self, uparam): mlist = [] process inputparameter, build mlist) return mlist Simple! hth Jonathan - Original Message - From: cpdm cadlab To: zope@zope.org Sent: Wednesday, September 06, 2006 6:27 PM Subject: [Zope] Need Help--urgently I am sure it should be trivial, but being newbee makes me shameless :) What I am in need of is guideline about how to integrate python script and external python method. I have a form through which I collect user input and forward it to a python script, which concatenates input in certain pattern and feeds it to external method. Now external method runs fine and puts the results in a list called mlist. What I want to know is how do I fetch the "return mlist" resulting from external method back to the python script which gave the input to it for processing. The python script is named which searchuparam which gets user input from form and does something like this:uparam = str(0) + "," + str(0) + "," + str(1) + "," + str(0) + "," + str(0) + "," + str(DO) \ + "," + str(NL) + "," + str(0) + "," + str(0) + "," + str(0) + "," + str(0) \ + "," + str(TIME) + "," + str(WM) + "," + str(NOP) + "," + str(EXP) + "," + str(GKH)context.code(uparam)code is the id of external method which processes uparam and at the end has statement return mlist this mlist is what I am interested in getting back. I want external method to return me this list to my python script searchuparam. I tried reading and did google last week but without success. Any help is appreciated.

Let's keep it on the list then; no personal email please.
I had initially done the way you have suggested, but it doesn't work
in the sense I get a empty list as output, which I know isn't empty.
Then something is wrong with the external method. Use a debugger (pdb,
Wing, Komodo, etc.) or spurious logging (import logger;
logger.getLogger('yourmodule').log) to trace your code.
This made me think that I was making silly mistake. If I run external
method in python shell it shows the mlist, which is non-empty, but if I
ask the same to python script to do what it prints is this : []
What do you think is wrong. A further code goes like this:
mlist = context.code(uparam)
if len(mlist) == str(0):
print Sorry no suitable method found in database
return printed
else:
print mlist
return printed
Use if not len(mlist):; comparing the length to str(0) is always
false. len returns an integer, not a string, so 0 == '0' will never be
True.
You can also call the external method directly if you encode the
arguments passed to it in the query string. Just open up a python
propmt, import urllib and call urllib.quote on your argument list to
hand-construct a URL.
Moreover, get decent books on Python and on Web programming in general.

Martijn,
I wonder which books would recommend? Best I can say is that books
just about HTTP are probably the least appreciated and often the most
useful.
