You might also want to think about the version below, which (though untested) uses rather commoner ways of expressing the same ideas: """ Publisher example """ def query(req, building=""): # NOTE: best way to understand this is to see the output, # that is, to "view source" on the generated web page # read common header for any google mapping f = file('/home/ta/public_html/maplish/googleHead.html','r') t = f.read() f.close() # define the two buildings we know (because no SQL is done here) # Did I say two?
