UndefinedError in py:for

[anonymous]

This is the code I'm running in the Python interpreter from the Documentation:

>>> from genshi.template import MarkupTemplate
>>> tmpl = MarkupTemplate('''<ul xmlns:py="http://genshi.edgewall.org/">
...   <li py:for="item in items">${item}</li>
... </ul>''')
>>> print(tmpl.generate(items=[1, 2, 3]))
<ul>
  <li>1</li><li>2</li><li>3</li>
</ul>

And I'm getting an UndefinedError for the variable item. If I force lenient mode, the template simply does not evaluate.

I'll come clean: I formatted that poorly. Here is the relevant code again:

>>> from genshi.template import MarkupTemplate
>>> tmpl = MarkupTemplate('''<ul xmlns:py="http://genshi.edgewall.org/">
...   <li py:for="item in items">${item}</li>
... </ul>''')
>>> print(tmpl.generate(items=[1, 2, 3]))
<ul>
  <li>1</li><li>2</li><li>3</li>
</ul>

Works for me, Python 2.7 on Windows and Genshi 0.6 (and other combinations).

Can you please give more details about your version of Python and Genshi?

I'm on Arch Linux, using Python 2.7.1 and Genshi 0.6 from the official repositories. It gives a traceback and then genshi.template.eval.UndefinedError?: "item" not defined.

I can't try on Linux right now, but on Windows 7 (x64):

Python 2.7.1 (r271:86832, Nov 27 2010, 17:19:03) [MSC v.1500 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from genshi.template import MarkupTemplate
>>> tmpl = MarkupTemplate('''<ul xmlns:py="http://genshi.edgewall.org/">
...   <li py:for="item in items">${item}</li>
... </ul>''')
>>> print(tmpl.generate(items=[1, 2, 3]))
<ul>
  <li>1</li><li>2</li><li>3</li>
</ul>
>>>
>>> import genshi
>>> genshi.__version__
'0.6'

As expected, it also works on Linux for me (python 2.7.1, Genshi 0.6).

Probably an installation issue (an older version that gets loaded first?).

Doesn't work for me either. I use python 3.2 and Genshi-0.7dev-py3.2.egg

Upon closer examination/debugging, the "item" variable is not available in any namespace by the time the lookup_name function parses it. It seems the entire for statement + the contained statement is parsed at the same time, so the "item" variable hasn't become available.

def lookup_name(cls, data, name):

traceback_hide = True val = data.get(name, UNDEFINED) if val is UNDEFINED:

val = BUILTINS.get(name, val) if val is UNDEFINED:

val = cls.undefined(name)

Even stranger, len(menu) claims that is has 2 records. Still, this only yields one "Hello.":

      <li py:for="menuitem in ${menu}">
         Hello.
      </li>

And once again, I run python 3.2.

It seems to be even worse, iteration doesn't seem work at all in my setup, this:

      <li py:for="i in range(0,3)">
        sdfsdfsdf
      </li>

produces only one row.

I'll keep posting on this issue:

Strangely, If I use a construct like this:

  <div py:match="left_content">
     <ol>
      <li py:for="i in range(0,3)">
        sdfsdfsdf
      </li>
    </ol>
  </div>

and calls it from an included file, the target tag gets the proper 3 items in it's list. So suddenly, it works! It must be a different context or something.

Anyway, now there is a workaround. Simply put, it works if you put is in an example like this: http://genshi.edgewall.org/wiki/GenshiRecipes/PyLayoutEquivalent
