I am using django with the geraldo reports engine and have recently encountered problems. Of course this may be a geraldo problem and I have made a similar post on that group. I am hoping, however, that this might just ring a bell with someone. Many text fields in the database contain ampersands and when these are displayed in a pdf generated by geraldo three different things happen depending on the system. in use. 1) The django development server running on windows strips out the ampersands from the pdf, otherwise everything is fine. 2) A mod_python system running on a debian etch box produces the pdfs correctly, complete with ampersands. 3) A mod_python(or mod_wsgi) system running on a debian lenny box produces the following error message: Deprecated String Exception: "xml parser error (bogus < or &) in paragraph beginning\n'Gastel & PH1'" Remove the ampersand in the database and everyhing is fine on this third setup.
The versions of python(2.5.2)/django('1.2.1 pre-alpha SVN-13294)/ geraldo(0.4 FINAL)/reportlab(2.1) on all three systems are identical.
