PyChart into web site error

[Michele Petrazzo]

I'm using PyChart like a module for create charts into a little web
site, but when I try to create one, I have this error:

/var/www/html/lgt/draw.py:19, in draw:
can = canvas.init(self.file_name)
/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/pychart/canvas.py:60, in init:
can = pngcanvas.T(fname)
/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/pychart/pscanvas.py:25, in __init__:
basecanvas.T.__init__(self)
/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/pychart/basecanvas.py:70, in __init__:
self.title = re.sub("(.*)\\.py$", "\\1", sys.argv[0])

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'argv'

Why my script doesn't have sys.argv?

Is there another way to use PyChart into my script?

Thanks,
Michele

You are probably going to have to give more details.

Is there a file in your html/lgt folder called sys?

How are you serving the pages?

No.

os.listdir('/var/www/html/lgt/') ['engine.py', 'db.py', 'index.spy', 'linetest.py', 'index.html',
'db_mysql.py', 'mysession.spy', 'cds.html', 'templates', 'tmp', 'draw.py']

How are you serving the pages?

Apache 2.0.48, mod_python 3.1.3 and Python 2.3.3
on my mdk 10.0

Thanks,
Michele

Have you tried just running the script from the command
line and not through mod_python?

If that works, there may be some security setting in
mod_python that restricts access to certain modules.
You might want to ask on a more mod_python oriented
list....

Obviosly when using mod_python there's no sys.argv (and what would it
contain if it existed??).

Now the real question is why PyChart needs sys.argv?

OTOH, maybe you can make a dummy sys module in your script that provides
sys.argv??
BTW, I tested with Apache 2.0.53, mod_python 3.1.4 and Python 2.4 to confirm
there's no sys.argv in the mod_python environment.
