[reportlab-users] looping through text error.

[Siddique, Halil]

Hi all,
I've only just looked at reportlab for the last few days so please bear
with me.

I have a script that was already in use and tried to modify it, what the
code should do is loop through all the records, and append them to a
list, but I cannot get it to work.
Here is the code

import os, arcgisscripting, datetime,  string

from reportlab.lib.pagesizes import A4
from reportlab.platypus import *
from reportlab.lib import colors
from reportlab.lib.styles import ParagraphStyle
from reportlab.lib.units import inch

myWorkspace = r"W:\ HeartOfTheCity.gdb"
myReportFolder = r"W\Reports"
myLogosFolder = r"W:\ \Images"
OpenPDF = "true"

gp = arcgisscripting.create(9.3)


#setup geoprocessor
gp.workspace = myWorkspace
gp.toolbox = "analysis"
gp.OverwriteOutput = 1
mySelectedGroupsFC = myWorkspace + os.sep + "SelectedGroups"
myNewBusinessFC = myWorkspace + os.sep + "New_Businesses"
myBufferFC = myWorkspace + os.sep + "Buffer"
myReportTable = myWorkspace + os.sep + "FINAL_TABLE"

#obtain Selected groups
mySelGroupsCursor = gp.searchcursor(mySelectedGroupsFC)
mySelectedGroups = mySelGroupsCursor.next()

#obtain New Business groups
myNewBusinessCursor = gp.searchcursor(myNewBusinessFC)
myNewBusiness = myNewBusinessCursor.next()

#obtain Buffer
myBufferCursor = gp.searchcursor(myBufferFC)
myBuffer = myBufferCursor.next()

#setup PDF doc
pdf_file_name = myNewBusiness.Postcode
pdf_file = myReportFolder + os.sep + pdf_file_name + ".pdf"

doc = SimpleDocTemplate(pdf_file, pagesize=A4)

# create a list and add the elements of our document (image, paragraphs,
table, chart) to it
story = []

#First add the the title of the report
#
#HEADER
#
parstyle = ParagraphStyle(name='Title', fontName='Helvetica',
fontSize=12, alignment=1, spaceAfter=20)
p = Paragraph('<b><u> Search Report</u></b>', parstyle)
story.append(p)

#Second add the title
#TITLE
#
p = Paragraph('The following community groups are located within <b><u>'
+ myBuffer.Buffer + ' metres  of -  <b><u>' + myNewBusiness.Postcode +
'<\b><\u>.',parstyle)
story.append(p)


#Third, add the map image
#MAP
#
map = Image("W:\Heart of the City mapping project 2012\Images" + os.sep
+ myNewBusiness.Postcode + ".jpg", width=5*inch, height=4*inch)
map.hAlign = 'CENTER'
story.append(map)


#Enter while loop for each buffer feature
#while myBuffer:
while myBuffer:
    print myBuffer.Buffer
    parstyle = ParagraphStyle(name='Title', fontName='Helvetica',
fontSize=11, alignment=0, spaceAfter=15, spaceBefore =15)
    p = Paragraph('<b><u>Community groups within ' + myBuffer.Buffer + '
metres of ' + myNewBusiness.Postcode  + '</u><\b><br>', parstyle)
    story.append(p)

    data = []
    parstyle = ParagraphStyle(name='Title', fontName='Helvetica',
fontSize=10, alignment=0)

    while mySelectedGroups:
        selectedGroups_desc = 'Community ID:'+ '<i>' +
mySelectedGroups.Community_ID + '<\i>'+ 'Organisation Name :' +
mySelectedGroups.Organisation_Name + '<br>'
        p = Paragraph(selectedGroups_desc, parstyle)
        data.append(p)
        #print data
        
        mySelectedGroups = mySelGroupsCursor.next()    
    story.append(data)

    #print story
    
    myBuffer = myBufferCursor.next()

#
#FOOTER
#
parstyle = ParagraphStyle(name='Title', fontName='Helvetica',
fontSize=11, alignment=0, spaceAfter=15, spaceBefore=15)
p = Paragraph('''Should you have any further questions **''', parstyle)
story.append(p)

doc.build(story)

del mySelGroupsCursor, myNewBusinessCursor, myBufferCursor

#Open document
if OpenPDF == "true":
    os.startfile(pdf_file)


When the code goes into the second while loop (mySelectedGroups), it
loops through and adds the data to the variable data, but when it exits
the loop and goes into story.append(data),an  error occurs 
AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'getKeepWithNext'
 (note I am using the free version of RL, and listflowable isn't
included from what I have read).

So my question is how to a list the values that are looped into my pdf?

Thanks
Halil
