(book) library. For now, I am using the Python dbm module to store
string representations of mod_python's req.form (using the
mod_python.publisher handler) using unique IDs as keys. In the .db
file, there is a key 'next' that holds the next key for the next form
submission. A TypeError exception is raised though when I attempt to
increment the 'next' key. This only occurs in mod_python.
This code...
self._db['next'] = str(int(self._db['next'])+1)
raises this exception....
TypeError: string indices must be integers
y = dbm.open("Test","c")
next = 0
y['next'] = str(next)
y['next'] = str(int(y['next'])+1)
y['next'] '1' y['next'] = str(int(y['next'])+1)
y['next']
'2'
I do not understand the cause of this exception. I am using Python
2.3.5. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
