[reportlab-users] StyleSheet1 and has_key

[Roberto Alsina]

Hi, I have recently tested rst2pdf with reportlab from SVN and only found one 
problem: the StyleSheet1 class.

Here's what the old code looked like:

--------
        self.StyleSheet = StyleSheet1()

	# Much later...

        if self.StyleSheet.has_key(key):
            return self.StyleSheet[key]
--------

In SVN, StyleSheet1 has no has_key, and I get the right result using 

	if key in self.StyleSheet:

The bad part is, using "in" doesn't work with RL 2.4, and using "has_key" 
doesn't work with RL from SVN.

I am now using this hack:

        self.StyleSheet = StyleSheet1()
        if not hasattr(self.StyleSheet, 'has_key'):
            self.StyleSheet.__class__.has_key = lambda s, k : k in s

but I want to cry every time I see that code. Is there any chance of a working 
StyleSheet1.has_key before next release?

Thanks in advance!
