We have two options here.  Either

a) People reading your original request go on a mind reading course or 
similar in an attempt to find out what the errors are, though I'm 
confused as to how you get errors from one line of code.

Or

b) Provide the smallest sample of code that allows the problem to be 
reproduced together with the complete traceback so we can see exactly 
what happened.
