Below is the code, please guide me in the right direction :: import psycopg2, psycopg2.extensions from Cheetah.Template import Template import operator import os from SafetyNet import SafetyNet filename = open(C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\PSN \InstalledDevices.html) There are three problems here. First, you have bare backslashes in this string. You happened to get lucky with this one, but if your file had been called ...\textfile.html, it would have failed because \t is the tab character. You need to either: 1. Double all the backslashes (...25\\Lib\\site-...) 2. Use a raw string (open(rC:\Python25...)) 3. Use forward slashes (open(C:/Python25/Lib/site-...)) Second, later on you try to write to this file, but you have opened it in read mode. Third, you should not be doing your development work inside the Python site-packages directory. The only thing in there should be the files from the add-on packages you have installed. Remember that, when you upgrade, the site-packages folder will go away. You need: filename = open(C:/Development/InstalledDevices.html, w) pocmonitors_cur = db.cursor() pocmonitors_cur.execute(SELECT pocmonitor_name, pocmonitor_sn FROM pocmonitor ORDER BY pocmonitor_name) pocmonitors = [] for i in range(pocmonitors_cur.rowcount) : pocmonitors.append(pocmonitors_cur.fetchone()) pocmonitors_cur.close() db.close() What are you trying to do here? If you just want to turn the query results into a list, you can just do: pocmonitors = pocmonitors_cur.fetchall() output = Template(file='C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\PSN \SafetyNet.tmpl', searchList=[nameSpace]) This string also needs to be escaped. -- Tim Roberts, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Providenza Boekelheide, Inc. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: Compile Cheetah Template on Windows
Tim, thank you very much for the reply. The 'cheetah' function is now
working!
I am still having a problem creating the file. I continually get
errors. I am sure that it is something very simple.
Below is the code, please guide me in the right direction ::
import psycopg2, psycopg2.extensions
from Cheetah.Template import Template
import operator
import os
from SafetyNet import SafetyNet
filename = open(C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\PSN
\InstalledDevices.html)
db = psycopg2.connect(dbname='XXX' user='XXX' host='XXX')
pocmonitors_cur = db.cursor()
pocmonitors_cur.execute(SELECT pocmonitor_name, pocmonitor_sn FROM
pocmonitor ORDER BY pocmonitor_name)
pocmonitors = []
for i in range(pocmonitors_cur.rowcount) :
pocmonitors.append(pocmonitors_cur.fetchone())
pocmonitors_cur.close()
db.close()
total_results = len(pocmonitors)
nameSpace = {'title': 'First Cheetah Example', 'pocmonitors':
pocmonitors, 'total_results': total_results}
output = Template(file='C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\PSN
\SafetyNet.tmpl', searchList=[nameSpace])
print output
filename.write(output)
Thanks for the help!

I have been able to successful pull info from a MySQL DB, get the

I have two questions:
1. How and where do you compile Cheetah templates in Windows? The
command in the docs is cheetah compile a, however, I believe that this
is for Linux. This does nothing in a DOS Prompt. Please provide the
info for this command in Windows.
The Cheetah installation should have created scripts called cheetah and
cheetah-compile in your Python25\Scripts directory. The issue you have
is that they aren't on your path.
One answer is to copy Python25\Scripts\cheetah to \Windows\cheetah.py and
Python25\Scripts\cheetah-compile to \Windows\cheetah-compile.py. Then you
can type cheetah.py compile xxx or cheetah-compile.py xxx.
However, you don't have to compile them in advance. You can do from
Cheetah.Template import Template and compile them on the fly, with
tmpl = Template( file='page.tmpl' )
2. How do I output the HTML to a file? I tried the following:
FILE = open(filename, wt)
FILE.writelines(output)
FILE.close()
I get an error though that states that writelines() requires an
interable argument
Just use FILE.write( output ).
