= Request - Entry #1 by Anonymous User on Apr 3, 2005 5:01 pm

in migrating a site from zope 2.5.1 (python 2.1.3) to two instances, one on zope 2.7.4 (python 2.3.4) and one on zope 2.7.5 (python 2.3.5), scripts using 'for' loops to iterate through a zcatalog query result have been failing with "NameError: global name '_getiter_' is not defined". _getiter_ isn't, obviously, a variable in use in the scripts themselves. The relevant snippet of python would be:

results = zcat(meta_type=whatever)
res=[(row.id.split().pop(), row) for row in results]
res.sort()
return res

Found a previous reference to this while Zope 2.7 was in beta, but the problem has either persisted, or reappeared.

thanks
