Okay, that's almost a classic. You ask about code that fails, while 
providing code that works as example. Crystal balls are rare nowadays, 
so this is really hard to answer!

In any case, here's what you could do:
1. use a debugger (import pdb...)
2. some more info could be retrieved by outputting the actual type along 
with the ID of the objects in question (see type() function)
3. reduce the non-working code until you have a minimal example that you 
can post here

I'd bet that at latest while trying approach 3 above, you will find the 
error yourself.

Good luck!
