Syntactical differences between .ASP and a stand-alone Python script

[K�ri Har�arson]

Hello all,

Why is it that in an .ASP page, I can write the following :

        sql= "select number,name from employees"
        rs,result = DBC.Execute(sql)

        rs.MoveFirst()
        while not rs.EOF:
                ns=rs("number").value
                na=rs("name").value
                rs.MoveNext()

Whereas in a standalone script, I have to write :

        sql= "select number,name from employees"
        rs,result = DBC.Execute(sql)

        rs.MoveFirst()
        while not rs.EOF:
                # ------ v ---- Note extra parentheses here
                number=rs()("number").Value
                number=rs()("name").Value
                rs.MoveNext()

The extra pair of parentheses was neccessary to avoid the following error :

TypeError: too many arguments; expected 1, got 2


Thank you for your thoughts !
