[reportlab-users] Pythonpoint: mods to suport path in stylesheet tags

[Francesco Pierfederici]

Hi,

I just started using PythonPoint (and I love it!). One thing I noticed  
is that specifying a path in the stylesheet tag would cause an error:

   File  
"/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/ 
python2.3/site-packages/reportlab/tools/pythonpoint/stdparser.py", line  
342, in start_stylesheet
     path.append('styles')
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'append'

Without knowing any better, I "fixed" it with a simple modification:

+++ /Library/Python/2.3/reportlab/tools/pythonpoint/stdparser.py

          if path=='None':
              path = []
+        if (isinstance (path, str)):
+            path = [path]
          path.append('styles')
          path.append(os.getcwd())
          modulename = self._arg('stylesheet', args, 'module')


Sorry if I missed something obvious and this is not needed!

Cheers
