[albatross-users] <al-for> help!

Hi!

I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction.  I have a  
dictionary containing paths, and a description for each.  I have  
assigned each to locals like so:

     simpleCtx.locals.foundBooks = foundBooks
     simpleCtx.locals.bookLinks = foundBooks.keys()

I've then iterated on the list with this:

             <al-for iter="book" expr="bookLinks">
                 <tr>
                     <td style="width: 15%;">Picture Will Go There</td>
                     <td><a href='<al-value expr="book.value()">'><al- 
value expr="foundBooks[ book.value() ]"></a></td>
                 </tr>
             </al-for>

The odd thing, is the list loops twice, and then exits.  If I run the  
cgi from the command line, it processes the entire list, and displays  
them all ( as per below ).

I'm running on OSX 10.4.2, using Apple's Apache.  I've tried  
Python2.3 and Python2.4.2, with the same results.

Any pointers would be much appreciated.

Regards

J
