How to fix "Object not iterable" error?

[william hoskins]

Hey everyone,
I am fairly new to python, and I was working on a google app engine project for a class, and this error came up. I wasn't sure why, because right above it I have the same object type right above it, and when I take the filter off the other, it works fine, I just can't do that or it screws everything up

def LoginBar():
    user = users.get_current_user()
    greet = Greeting.all()
    info = greet
    greet.filter("username =", user)
    info = Greeting.all()
    url_account_linktext = "Account"
    check = 0
    if user:
        for info in greet:
            if info.username == user:
                check = 1
                break
        if check == 0:
            greeting = Greeting()
            greeting.username = users.get_current_user()
            greeting.email = user.email()
            greeting.name = greeting.username.nickname()
            greeting.put()
 
        url = users.create_logout_url('/')
        url_linktext = 'Logout'
    else:
        url = users.create_login_url('/')
        url_linktext = 'Login'
    template_values = {
            'info': info,
            'greetings': greet,
            'url': url,
            'url_linktext': url_linktext,
            'url_account_linktext': url_account_linktext, 
        }
 

If I use the info variable in this code

{% for greeting in info %}
    <br /><b>{{ greeting.name }}</b><br />
{% endfor %}
 

it throws this exception, but if I put greet in there, whether it is filtered or not, it works. Any ideas why? I really wish I could use greet, but that doesn't work, sadly, because I use it else where for other stuff. Thanks in advance

Edit, here is the traceback

It would help if you posted the error message including the traceback.

The assignments you make in LoginBar() don't seem right. You make an assignment to info twice before the if statement, and then again if user evaluates True.

The second block of code posted is not valid Python and would raise a SyntaxError.

I added the tracebook, sorry, meant to add that. The last block of code is integrating the python into html, I was half asleep when I asked this, sorry

Never mind, it works now...it turns out I needed to put .all onto the iterating object in the for loop. Thanks for your help!
