Does this also happen on a freshly created catalog on the new instance? In other words, is it due to old stuff in you Data.fs?

Also please paste the full traceback and the exact script used to provoke it.

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
