format not defined

[Jon Drukman]

I am trying to customize my email ticket template as documented at

http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracNotification

In particular, I copied the paragraph that replaces the ascii table of properties with the one-line-per-property format for HTML mail readers.  However, after saving and restarting trac, I now get this error whenever I try to update a ticket:

Warning: The change has been saved, but an error occurred while sending notifications: "format" not defined

It is complaining about this line:

${'\n'.join('%s\t%s' % (format(p[0]+':', ' <12'), p[1]) for p in pv if p[0] in sel)}

I copied it straight out of the wiki and I don't know squat about Python so I'm not sure how to fix it.  Help please!

I’m the one who wrote those lines on the wiki page

http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracNotification#Customizinge-mailcontentforMSOutlook

 

“format” is an built-in function in Python... weird.

What versions of Python, Trac and Genshi are you using?

Can you provide an error log with more details?

Python 2.4.3

Trac 0.12

I don't know how to find out the Genshi version - if you tell me, I will look it up.

Here's the log file:

format() was introduced in 2.6. You should probably use the % operator
instead (and make the relevant changes to the format string).

Sorry, as I said, I know nothing about Python.  Can you write it out for me?  :)
