[DB-SIG] Taking exeptions to threads and Access...

[kromag@nsacom.net]

I can't for the life of me figure out what is causing this to barf...

-----------begin script-----------
import win32com.client
import random
import time
import string
import thread

engine=win32com.client.Dispatch("DAO.DBEngine.35")
db=engine.OpenDatabase("\windows\desktop\terror.mdb")

## Function write() writes a list to the database
def write(inputtage):
	time=inputtage[0]
	data_string=inputtage[1]
	db.Execute("insert into data values(%f, '%s')" %(time, data_string))
	return 'ok'

if __name__=='__main__':
	tik_tok=time.time()
	surprize=random.choice(['Hellbilly', 'Crunchy Tack', 'Feeble'])
	the_madness=(tik_tok, surprize)
	none=0
	thread.start_new_thread(write,(the_madness,))

-------------end script------------

It returns:

-----------begin error-------------
Unhandled exception in thread:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "dbwrite.py", line 14, in write
    db.Execute("insert into data values(%f, '%s')" %(time, data_string))
AttributeError: 'None' object has no attribute 'Execute'
>Exit code: 0
----------end error---------------

I am using:

Python 2.0 (#8, Oct 16 2000, 17:27:58) [MSC 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
 
on winders 95. 

It looks like to me that since I am passing an empty value in:

thread.start_new_thread(write,(the_madness,))

that I somehow need to strip it out somewhere in the function... or not!

Can anyone suggest anything? Thanks!
