[web2py] redirect() cause errors since launchpad revision 2223

[anton.mue...@gmx.de]

Hello Everybody,

I will post the same code snippet twice to handle two completely
different questions.

Here:
Since I checked out revision 2223 (and later) from launchpad via
bazaar, I get errors whenever any call to the redirect(...) function
is invoked. The message is:

TypeError: 'XML' object is unsubscriptable

Look at the function index() in the posted controller snippet.
With revision 2222 this redirects to test1 as expected.

Thanks for helping!

Best regards and greetings from sunny Bavaria,
Toni


And here comes the code:

# One Issue: redirect does not work from launchpad revision 2223 on to
latest (2225)
def index():
    session.flash = T('Welcome to my web2py page!')
    redirect(URL(request.application,'test', f='test1'))


# And one Question: Validator IS_IN_SET(...) cannot handle language
specific special chars
#
# There allready were threads "Validators and non ASCII characters"
# 
http://groups.google.com/group/web2py/browse_frm/thread/db9dc637f15984c8/ea025f1d102698f2?hl=en&lnk=gst&q=umlaut#ea025f1d102698f2
#
# and "IS_IN_SET multiple=True with non-ASCII character failed"

http://groups.google.com/group/web2py/browse_frm/thread/545ccff33c370f9b/b779e15fd9ce6949?hl=en&lnk=gst&q=unicode+IS_IN_SET#b779e15fd9ce6949
#
# on groups.google.com. The second thread offered a solution, but it
seems to me not satisfying. Is there any other possibility to solve
this issue?
#
# What is the reason that the validators cannot handle non-ascii
characters (while python can...)?

# compare test1() to test2()

        Field('job_LOCATION',

              default = job_locationOptions[0]),
        )
    if formA.accepts(request.vars, session):
        response.flash = 'form accepted'

    return dict(form = formA)

    return dict(form = formB)
