OK, trying to get a bit of help formatting things for the data engine.  Here's 
the relevant code in "views":

(begin code)
def analyzeviews(group_key):
    #Get my photos from the views pool
    pages = 1
    group_photos = flickr.groups_pools_getPhotos(group_id=group_key, 
user_id=user, per_page=perpage, page=pages)
    print "Status: " + group_photos['stat'] + "\tViews: %d Pictures in group:  
%s" % (numerical_views[group_key], group_photos.photos[0]['total'])
    photoinfo =[]
    if group_photos.photos[0]['total'] != "" and int(group_photos.photos[0]
['total']) > 0:
        ids25 = [i['id'] for i in group_photos.photos[0].photo]
        for id in ids25:
            #print id
            photoinfo.append(flickr.photos_getinfo(photo_id=id))

        for number in range (1, int(group_photos.photos[0]['pages'])):
            pages = pages + 1
            group_photos = flickr.groups_pools_getPhotos(group_id=group_key, 
user_id=user, per_page=perpage, page=pages)
            ids25 = [i['id'] for i in group_photos.photos[0].photo]
            for id in ids25:
                #print id
                photoinfo.append(flickr.photos_getinfo(photo_id=id))
    print "done grabbing photos" #debugging
    return photoinfo
(end code)

 So, I realized that I didn't need to return a tuple, that was left over from 
a previous idea I'd had with the script.  So now I'm returning a list of XML 
objects.  So I'm partway there.  

So, I'm just curious about the best way of doing this.  I was thinking of 
changing  photoinfo.append(flickr.photos_getinfo(photo_id=id)) to  
photoinfo.append(str(flickr.photos_getinfo(photo_id=id))) 

and then I was going to change return photoinfo to return str(photoinfo) is 
that the best way to do it? 

Thanks!
