More On the Strange Problem

[Victor Subervi]

I've isolated the problem in the print-out at the bottom of this post. It
occurs when these values are passed:

['LastDatePrice', 'date', '10', 'yyyy/mm/dd', None],

Since this is the first datetime that is passed, it would appear to be
associated with such values, which are processed thus:

    elif typeName == 'datetime':
      print "<input type='text' width='%s' maxlength='%s' name='%s'
value='%s' /> " \
        "<i>This field takes a datetime up to %s alphanumeric characters
inclusive.</i>" \
        % (shortNum, str(typeNum), colName, theVal, str(typeNum))

colName == 'LastDatePrice'
typeNum = 10

      elif 10 < int(typeNum) < 20:
        shortNum = '10'

Therefore...
shortNum = '10'

    if whatDo == 'insert':
      theVal = defaultVal
      val = defaultVal

Since whatDo == 'insert'...
and
val = 'yyyy/mm/dd'
therefore
theVal = None

Now, this value of None doesn't cause any problems with the other values
printed out. This is the code:

  print 'printTheForm: ', descrProds, '<br />'
  for value in descrProds:
    print 'value: ', value, '<br />'

that produces this print-out:

printTheForm: [['ID', 'tinyint', '5', '0', None], ['SKU', 'varchar', '40',
'', None], ['Category', 'varchar', '40', '', None], ['Name', 'varchar',
'50', '', None], ['Title', 'varchar', '100', '', None], ['Description',
'mediumtext', '100', '', None], ['Price', 'float', '8', '0.0', None],
['SortFactor', 'int', '4', '0', None], ['Availability', 'tinyint', '1', '0',
'1'], ['OutOfStock', 'tinyint', '1', '0', '0'], ['ShipFlatFee', 'float',
'5', '0.0', '0.00'], ['ShipPercentPrice', 'tinyint', '2', '0', '0'],
['ShipPercentWeight', 'tinyint', '2', '0', '0'], ['Associations', 'varchar',
'40', '', None], ['TempPrice', 'tinyint', '1', '0', None], ['LastDatePrice',
'date', '10', 'yyyy/mm/dd', None], ['Weight', 'float', '7', '0.0', None],
['Metal', 'enum', ['14k gold', '18k gold', 'white gold', 'silver',
'tungsten', 'titanium'], '', None], ['PercentMetal', 'tinyint', '2', '0',
None], ['colorsShadesNumbersShort', 'set', [''], '', None]]
value: ['ID', 'tinyint', '5', '0', None]
value: ['SKU', 'varchar', '40', '', None]
value: ['Category', 'varchar', '40', '', None]
value: ['Name', 'varchar', '50', '', None]
value: ['Title', 'varchar', '100', '', None]
value: ['Description', 'mediumtext', '100', '', None]
value: ['Price', 'float', '8', '0.0', None]
value: ['SortFactor', 'int', '4', '0', None]
value: ['Availability', 'tinyint', '1', '0', '1']
value: ['OutOfStock', 'tinyint', '1', '0', '0']
value: ['ShipFlatFee', 'float', '5', '0.0', '0.00']
value: ['ShipPercentPrice', 'tinyint', '2', '0', '0']
value: ['ShipPercentWeight', 'tinyint', '2', '0', '0']
value: ['Associations', 'varchar', '40', '', None]
value: ['TempPrice', 'tinyint', '1', '0', None]
value: ['LastDatePrice', 'date', '10', 'yyyy/mm/dd', None]

If in fact the problem has to do with the None value, how can I easily
substitute a different value? I tried:

if theVal == None:
  theVal = ''

but that didn't capture it.
TIA,
