That's ouch-y. I'm relying on the ability to produce multiple documents per process, and I've a system that does that in production. My documents do not use forms, though. Incidentally, I'm almost certain this bug was introduced into reportlab code in January 2010, by applying this patch: http://two.pairlist.net/pipermail/reportlab-users/2010-January/009216.html __InternalName__ is assigned only for objects that have __PDFObject__ set to True, and GLOBALRESOURCES is an instance of PDFPattern which didn't have that attribute earlier. I still intend to bring this up on the reportlab mailing list. > This is the > reason, Roger implemented running the renderer in a sub-process and all the > tests are run twice. So you're saying this is a bug in z3c.rml after all? It ends up not using separate subprocesses for each test? Marius Gedminas -- http://pov.lt/ -- Zope 3/BlueBream consulting and development
