Why call attribute 'upper'?

[Neil]

Hi, all:
   my test failed and reported "AttributeError: 'AccPort' object has no attribute 'upper'"
   but I have not called a attribute 'upper'?
   Anyone have some idea about it?
   Thanks!

There's most likely a bug in a test library you use. It could also be
that you are passing an invalid argument to a keyword, but even in
that case the keyword could report the error better. Run the test with
`--loglevel debug` command line option and you'll see a traceback that
shows where in the library code the error occurs. If you don't know
much Python, you may need to consult someone who knows it, preferably
the library developer, for more information.

Hi, Pekka:
   Thanks, Import as following:
   Import Library    snmp_lib.Flow    ${I_HOST100PORT3}    cmflowtype=epl
  
   It seems there is a bug about robot framework.
   ${I_HOST100PORT3} is a instance of a class. The class do not have attribute 'upper', but  robot framework try to use it attribute 'upper'.
  
  
   debug show following info:
  
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/robot/libraries/BuiltIn.py", line 1543, in import_library
    self._namespace.import_library(name.replace('/', os.sep), list(args))
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/robot/running/namespace.py", line 121, in import_library

Yes, the bug is in Robot Framework itself. I submitted an issue about
it and the bug will be fixed in RF 2.7.2. The issue also lists some
workarounds that you may want to try:

Thanks for reporting the issue!
