[mod_python] PLz...plz.. Help - reportlab-pdf code..

The path "../common/tstmt.dtd" is not a valid URL. Exactly what
the error message says. The urllib2 module be expecting an address
of the form "http://hostname/some/path".

You might try something like "file:///some/path/common/tstmt.dtd".
Where "/some/path/common/tstmt.dtd" is the full path to the file
as it exists on your machine. Not sure if urllib2 will accept that though.

You might also find that if you simply have an absolute path rather
than a relative pathname, ie., "/some/path/common/tstmt.dtd",
the code might be smart enough to realise it is a local file and just
grab it from the file system rather than invoking urllib to get it.

I am guessing here as I am not familar with the package being used.

For about the fourth time, a general question like this would be better
posted on:

    http://groups-beta.google.com/groups?group=comp.lang.python&hl=en

You will have a better chance of finding people there who would know
the answer to your question.

Everything with you is urgent.

Yes, send mailing address to everyone on the list so we can all send an
invoice to you for our time in answering all these questions you keep
asking which have nothing to do with the topic of the mod_python mailing
list. I note you are now also sending them to reportlab list when they are
also nothing specific to it either. Urgent that you send this so we can bill
you and get our money as soon as possible. :-) :-) :-) :-)

Note that in general most people would have no problem helping you with
your problems, but the fact that the questions are off topic and that
everytime you say it is urgent, gets a bit annoying after a while. :-(
