[Tutor] error message

[Michael Emperador]

I get the following error message when running the script below.  I am
using python 2.0 on Suse 7.2.

Error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./test.py", line 20, in ?
    curr_cust(customers, name)
  File "./test.py", line 8, in curr_cust
    if x in ("seq2"):
TypeError: 'in <string>' requires character as left operand

Script:

#! /usr/bin/python

import cgi, os, string

def curr_cust(seq1,seq2):
    cust = []
    for x in seq1:
        if x in ("seq2"):
            cust.append(x)
    return cust

file = open('/usr/local/httpd/htdocs/pp/opt/customers','r')
customers = file.readlines()
file.close()

form = {'username':'Somers'}
name = form['username']

curr_cust(customers, name)
