It is looking for a file name in a Unicode string, yes. You haven't given enough information for me to tell what exactly you've tried to pass to the function. It's a tuple of some sort, but of what you haven't said. You can use the `type', `print' and `repr' functions to examine data in Python. `len' will tell you how many elements there are in a tuple. > How do I > get it to display directly from MySQL, without creating a temporary > file, and then displaying it? At this point, you don't. Scribus's image handling is built completely around external images and it has absolutely no support for document-embedded images or anything else. Sorry. -- Craig Ringer
