python - Django / xhtml2pdf - object has no attribute 'encode' -

-

i'm having hard time producing pdf's in django. per previous question i'm running same error.
when run following code 'list' object has no attribute 'encode', pdf saved in media folder plain text file. think object being referred sections queryset.

@login_required def generate_pdf(request, slug):     # prepare context     document = get_object_or_404(document, slug=slug)     sections = \         get_list_or_404(section.objects.filter                         (associated_document__startswith=document.slug))     data = {'document': document, 'sections': sections}      # render html content through html template context     template = get_template('lld/lld_pdf.html')     html = template.render(context(data))     file = open('/home/project/media/test.pdf', "w+b")     print type(document)     print type(sections)     print type(data)     print type(template)     print type(html)     print type(file)     pisastatus = pisa.createpdf(html.encode('utf-8'), dest=file)     # return pdf document through django http response     file.seek(0)     pdf = file.read()     file.close()            # don't forget close file handle     return httpresponse(pdf, mimetype='application/pdf')

cli output:

<class 'lld.models.document'> <type 'list'> <type 'dict'> <class 'django.template.backends.django.template'> <class 'django.utils.safestring.safetext'> <type 'file'>

and error:

i realize question might seem trivial some, it's these types of things find myself fighting quite bit , want make sense of despite seeming losing battle in .net (for me anyway). so, if following: using system.web; ... applicationuser user = system.web.httpcontext.getowincontext().getusermanager<applicationusermanager>().findbyid(system.web.httpcontext.user.identity.getuserid()); that produces error in title , red getowincontext() , error cannot resolve symbol 'getowincontext()' however, if following (remove system.web in front of httpcontext ), works expected (or @ least no errors): using system.web; ... applicationuser user = httpcontext.getowincontext().getusermanager<applicationusermanager>().findbyid(system.web.httpcontext.user.identity.getuserid()); however, if (same line that's working using system.web commented out): //using system.web; ... applicationuser user = httpcontext.getowincontext().getusermana...

mercurial graft feature, can it copy? -

there new feature in mercurial 3, called 'graft' (graft local). job of moving change-set different branch. is there way "copy" change-set branch? i interested in in moving stuff qa branch production branch, still need code reside in qa. want copy. found , have tried few things, maybe it'll become clear more tinkering , reading... does have better way of 'cherry picking' change-sets move cross branch (or trunk)??? graft copies changesets, doesn't move them. hg graft (emphasis mine): this command uses mercurial's merge logic copy individual changes other branches without merging branches in history graph. known 'backporting' or 'cherry-picking' . default, graft copy user, date, , description source changesets.
