I needed to have: self.lines = self.newplot.plot(self.plot) from the data I brought in I got the following when the variable above(self.plot) was inserted: self.lines = self.newplot.plot(u'plot') So by applying eval: self.lines = self.newplot.plot(eval(self.plot)) It then inserted the following when the variable self.plot was used: self.lines = self.newplot.plot(eval(plot) no u'stringhere' in the second version with eval around the variable. I hope that makes it clearer. Otherwise I might have to let you borrow my Windex to clean the screen. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
