Re: [rst2pdf] AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'split'

[Patrick Maupin]

Looks like authors can be a list. Who knew?

Anyway, since you're trying to end up with a list, just wrap the offending line:

try:
authors=self.document.settings.author.split('\\')
except AttributeError:
pass

Thanks, that allowed moving to next probelm

After a long list of errors it ends

  File "C:\programs\WinPython2.7.3_32\python-2.7.3\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\pyparsing_py2.py", line 989, in _parseNoCache
    tokens = fn( instring, tokensStart, retTokens )
  File "C:\programs\WinPython2.7.3_32\python-2.7.3\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\mathtext.py", line 2741, in subsuper
    super.shrink()
AttributeError: 'unicode' object has no attribute 'shrink'

I have investigated and it happens with math expressions of the type:

   :math:`u' = x`

where the offending "unicode" is in fact the vertical tick after the u. That is, this works

   :math:`u = x`

Now this is think is a bug

Having a similar problem here:

 

    super.shrink()
AttributeError: 'unicode' object has no attribute 'shrink'

Seems we have some conflict with matplotlib.mathtext here, is there a patch suggestion?

 

because this is really anoying!
