Hi there,

I'm having a problem calling a function from outside my main python script. The main script creates a set of text file reports. The second python script (email_reports.py) defines the functions used to send out these reports via email. I have imported email_reports into the main script and called the emailing functions. The script executes successfully but data is missing from the resulting emails. Strangely, when I call the emailing functions from within the email_reports.py script, the resulting emails are complete. I don't understand why I'm getting different results from the same function... any insight would be greatly apprectiated.

Here's the code from email_reports.py :

import mailer, time
from time import strftime

today =strftime("%B %d, %Y")
opyear = strftime("%Y")

def EmailYTDRpt(dist):
	 strBody = "					Road Construction Line Summary\n" + 
	 "					Blocks Completed for " + 
	 opyear + " in " + dist + "\n\n\n" + open("T:\\Road_Con\\reports\\" + dist 
	 + "ytd_L.txt", "rb").read() + "\n\n\n" + "			Road Construction Point Features\n" 
	 + "				Blocks Completed in " + opyear + "\n\n\n" + open 
	 ("T:\\Road_Con\\reports\\" + dist + "ytd_P.txt", "rb").read()
	
	 message = mailer.Message()
	 message.From = "from@email.com"
	 message.To = "to@email.com" # email_list
	 message.Subject = dist + " RDCON BLOCKS COMPLETED IN " + opyear + " - " + today
	 message.Body = strBody

	 mailer1 = mailer.Mailer('10.5.2.61')
	 mailer1.send(message)
	 return "Sent"

And here's how I'm calling it from the main script...

import sys, string, os, arcgisscripting, time, shutil, mailer, email_reports
from time import ctime, strptime, strftime

#rest of script here...

email_reports.EmailYTDRpt(dist)

Problem solved!

In the main script, the emailing function was being called while one of the files was still open and was therefore not being read properly.
