[reportlab-users] Image: jpeg_fh crashing

[Marek Kubica]

Hi!

When I add an image to my platypus layout it keeps on crashing:

Traceback (most recent call last):

  AttributeError at /catalog/choice/
  'unicode' object has no attribute 'jpeg_fh'

Any idea why this is happening? Ah, the image path is passed as unicode
object, but I'd be very surprised if that would be a problem.

I am using Python 2.5.1 with Reportlab 2.1.

Thanks in advance!

regards,
Marek
