#5007 — Re: Inconsistency with split() - Script, OS, or Package Problem?

Thank you Ethan,

This is what I see now:

# python render4.py
current each_value is: vsr
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "render4.py", line 115, in <module>
    create_report_index(each_item)
  File "render4.py", line 26, in create_report_index
    [clean_name, _] = each_value.split('_', 1)
ValueError: need more than 1 value to unpack

# grep -i vsr *
#

Using the informational line you suggested I see that 'vsr' showing as
the current each_value.  The string 'vsr' does not exist in my data
though.  Where could this be coming from?


Thanks,
James
