I would also suggest, along side Kent's suggestion, that you rewrite two 
things.

1)  pr = rp.ParseReport(rep)
as  self.pr = rp.ParseReport(rep)

2) def getRep():
as def getRep(self):

to make it a method of the class

Obviously, this will not fix your problem, but it makes it neater and less 
error prone in the future.
To fix your problem, I refered to Kent...

I'm done,
