Do you want to send a patch adding an option to do this? I totally
sympathize with your points.

I am not sure I understand what this is in your sentence. I don't know how
to patch pyreport to work in this situation. Unfortunately I'm a bit lost
in the meta programming required.

OK, I have release a new version correcting this: 0.3.3. You can download
it from pypi:
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyreport
I have also changed a with details to make it work better on python 2.6.

Hope this helps,

Gaël

Thanks for your quick reply. However, this didn't fix it for me:

Basically if I have a file tester.py of the form:

from future import division, absolute_import

print "hi"

Then:

 /usr/local/bin/python2.6.1 pyreport.py tester.py

still kicks an error

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "pyreport.py", line 1260, in <module>
    commandline_call()
  File "pyreport.py", line 1200, in commandline_call
    main(pyfile, overrides=options)
  File "pyreport.py", line 1256, in main
    compiler.compile( output_list, options.outfile, options)
  File "pyreport.py", line 959, in compile
    html_string = re.sub(r"</style>", protect(cssextra), html_string)
  File "pyreport.py", line 583, in protect
    return re.sub(r"\\", r"\\\\", string)
  File "/u/coffey/localpythonrecent/lib/python2.5/re.py", line 150, in sub
    return _compile(pattern, 0).sub(repl, string, count)
TypeError: __call__() takes at most 5 arguments (6 given)

This happens both under pthon 2.5.2 and 2.6.1 (64bit).

Ha, OK. Sorry, I hadn't understood your problem.

Sorry, I cannot fix this: the problem is that you cannot do imports from
__future__ unless you are right at the entry point. In other word, you
have to comment out or to try/except these lines. I can't fix this, and
you won't be able to run these files in another program, say an IDE. It
is a limitation of Python.

Gaël

That is what I was afraid of... This is probably insurmountable for us. (we
have a pretty involved bootstrat importing system which requires the
absolute_import. I'm not entirely sure why, but there it is...)

Thanks for your help.
