the name localFileName is bound to a type ... and of course it's expecting a string. You must have done something weird with localFileName, like this: | >>> fname = type(2) | >>> fname | <type 'int'> | >>> f = open(fname) | Traceback (most recent call last): | File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> | TypeError: coercing to Unicode: need string or buffer, type found | >>> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
