[Tutor] guess the error cause time!

[Kirk Bailey]

OK, here is the error:

 File "/www/www.tinylist.org/cgi-bin/TLcommander.py", line 155, in bullshit
    if data not in
"abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789-_":
TypeError: string member test needs char left operand

A char left operand??? pardon, but WTF?

and here is the code:

def bullshit(data):                            # this detects evil data (we
HOPE)...
        for i in data:                                # slice the data nicely
                if data not in
"abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789-_":
                        print "ERROR: input invalid. Please click [BACK] on the
browser and modify input."
                        footer()                                        #160
close the page out
                        sys.exit()                                      # and
abort execution. I$
#

end

Respectfully,
