None

[Larry Whitley]

Here's the traceback requested:

C:\Projects\Pecos\Traces>analyze3
u:\trc45\pecos\ c:\projects\pecos\traces\ ('crusader091101.zip',
'crusader091101
.dat', 'crusader091101.a3.txt')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Projects\Pecos\Traces\analyze3.py", line 372, in ?
    main()
  File "C:\Projects\Pecos\Traces\analyze3.py", line 365, in main
    process( localPath + files[1], localPath + files[2] ) # process the file
  File "C:\Projects\Pecos\Traces\analyze3.py", line 336, in process
    pc.runningReport( None, riostream ) # to stdout
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'None' referenced before assignment

Here's the relevant section of code in the neighborhood of the error:
            if pc.endCond != "":
                pc.summarizeData()
                riostream = pc.rio()
                pc.runningReport( fout, riostream ) # to file
                pc.runningReport( None, riostream ) # to stdout

The method runningReport() looks like this:
    def runningReport(self, fout, riostream):
        print >>fout, "%8d" % self.startCycn, "%8d" % self.endCycn, "%6d" %
(self.endCycn - self.startCycn), \
              "%8s" % self.command, "%10x" % self.startAddr, "%10x" %
self.endAddr, "%4d" % self.nBytes, \
              "%8s" % self.endCond, riostream

My idea was to setup the method to print to file and by substituting None
for the file object, let the same method send the output to standard out.

Thanks for the help,
Larry
