Hi Drew and all,
I saw the same exact problem Drew saw with *defaultdict(list)*. For the
benefit of any future debuggers, I thought I'd document what went wrong in
our case.
One of the functions in the controller was inappropriately named *list()*,
thus overriding the definition of *list()* itself. By the time the model
code was called -- *g = defaultdict(list)* and then
*g['foo'].append('someValue')* -- it raised the *AttributeError: 'dict'
object has no attribute 'append'* exception that Drew saw.
This problem would not occur if the controller was not involved - i.e. from
the Python interpreter.
warm regards,
