I just discovered that this does work correctly with a version of Nevow that is a few days old. It's only the latest version (CVS HEAD of Quotient) that doesn't work. Life on the bleedin' edge... -- Gavrie.

Hi,

I have a freeform autocallable method which uses a deferred: The method needs to call a function that returns a deferred, and continue only after the deferred fires.

Unfortunately, I cannot get it to work: When I return a deferred from the autocallable, I get a traceback which doesn't make sense to me.

A test program and the associated traceback are attached.

Is this supposed to work? If not, how can I perform a deferred action when posting a form?

Thanks,

-- Gavrie.
