That sounds really strange. What is the traceback? It must be happening after Paste has read the config file and is loading the application and running the main function, because that's the point where scan would be called. Do you have the scan call inside the main function and not at module level? Having it at module level could well do something weird; if something it expects to have happened hasn't yet. The second question is, is something in the application trying to parse the config file again? (That is, something called by main, or in any of your application modules at module level. You might do this to read a custom section for an application-specific purpose.) It sounds like it's reading the wrong file or is trying to read a nonexistent file. ConfigParser does have a misfeature where if you try to read a file that doesn't exist, it succeeds as if it were an empty file. That would then lead to a missing section error or missing option error. There's a third-party version of ConfigParser that fixes that, but I'm not sure if Paste's version (paste.deploy.something.NicerConfigParser) does. -- Mike Orr <sluggos...@gmail.com> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
