<div id="RTEContent"><br> Fine Book. I'm working through the examples.<br> Hit a problem with the wordcountproxy.py example,<br> under the explanation of HTTP Proxy Servers, on page 62..<br> As this __might__ be an issue with Twisted itself,<br> I'm cross-posting here as well as back to O'Reilly errata.<br> <br> The issue is that the:<br> 'reactor.listenTCP(WEB_PORT, WebReportFactory(counter))'<br> call precipitates an error message in _getfullpathname in<br> Lib/ntpath.py, called from web/http.py, and the error is:<br> 'TypeError: coercing to Unicode: need string or buffer, WordCounter found'<br> <br> The full traceback is given below. N.B. I'm using Python 2.4.1<br> on Win XP.<br> <br> I wonder if anyone else has come across this issue?<br> Any insights gratefully received,<br> <br> Regards,<br> <br> Stephen Nightingale.<br> <br> 2005/11/21 23:20 GMT Standard Time [-] Log opened.<br> 2005/11/21 23:20 GMT Standard Time [-]
