€€Newbie Needs Help -- Name and Key errors

[Bob Langdon]

Hi,

New to Python, and moving a site for a client. The backend sas developed 
by another developer in Python.  I've i9nstalled Python1.5.2 in my home 
direcpory and tested it. The interpreter seems to functioning properly.

However, some paths seem to be defined incorrectly.

When running a script "getresume.py" for example, 

>>try:
   import sys
   sys.stderr = sys.stdout
   sys.path.insert(0,'.')
   sys.path.append('/usr/local/lib/python1.5')
   sys.path.append('/usr/local/lib/python1.5/site-packages')
   import os
   TEMPLATES=os.environ['DOCUMENT_ROOT']
   from calendar import month_name
   from types import *
   from formhandler import FormHandler
   from string import strip, split, join, atol, atof, upper, lower, 
capitalize
   from refer import getReferer, addGetResume
   from time import asctime, localtime, time, strftime
   from urllib import quote_plus, unquote_plus
   from fcsetup import LOCALHOSTNAME
   from fcsetup import *
   import Mail
except:
   print '<pre>\n'
   import traceback
   traceback.print_exc()
   print sys.path

resumeDIR = DEPOT

      
class GetResumeHandler(FormHandler):
yada yafda yada...<<


I get the following errors:


Traceback (innermost last):
  File "./getresume.py", line 10, in ?
    TEMPLATES=os.environ['DOCUMENT_ROOT']

    resumeDIR = DEPOT
NameError: DEPOT

I think DEPOT might be a reference to the MySQL database, using the 
Berkley dbmodule (which I can't find). I certainly can't find a 
directory named DEPOT anywhere on the old host's server.

Neither can I fathom where "DOCUMENT_ROOT" is defined, or find a file 
called "os.environ."

Please help!

TIA,
