Re: Downloading a file form a displayed table

Hi,

It is really complicated to reproduce the errors you get by running your
code since it involves database queries.

Though one thing that really needs your attention is how you handle the
results from os.walk(path).

Dave Angel told you already that: "But os.walk() doesn't return a filename.
It returns a tuple.".

To show where you are wrong I have create the directory structure:
Folder "folder1" that has files "file4.txt" and "file3.txt" inside.

In Python 2.6.5:
>>> import os
>>> for filename in os.walk('folder1'):
...  print(filename)
...
('folder1', [], ['file4.txt', 'file3.txt'])
>>>

So your code is treating results from os.walk() incorrectly. You get tuple,
so extract data you need from it first. In case you don't know how:

Print files only (no directories. Adapt code to your needs):
>>> for result in os.walk('folder1'):
...    for filename in result[2]:
...      print(filename)
...
file4.txt
file3.txt

In http://docs.python.org/2/library/os.html you will find:
os.walk(top, topdown=True, onerror=None, followlinks=False)
Generate the file names in a directory tree by walking the tree either
top-down or bottom-up. For each directory in the tree rooted at directory
top (including top itself), it yields a 3-tuple (dirpath, dirnames,
filenames).
...

Vytas
