[reportlab-users] NameError: name '__loader__' is not defined

[dimitri pater]

Hi,

thanks for your reply Robin,
I discoverd that when running the example files from the Python interpreter
or Komodo the NameError doesn't occur, it only occurs in the WingIDE debug
process. If I select "ignore this exception location" in the WingIDE
debugger all goes well. Don't know why...
Thanks,
Dimitri
