[Babel] size limit of #+call

[Babel] size limit of #+call

[Martin Halder]

Hi all,

trying to use a function to output a latex file using python with #+call.

The example below does work but when pycalltest gets too big it just output "nil".
When I call pycalltest directly with C-c C-c it works even with a big function.

Is there a size limit when I use #+call ?

Thanks for help,
Martin

#+name: pycalltest(trans=translation,items=items,cust=customer,deta=details,lang="german",cur="chf")
#+begin_src python :results output
execfile('latex.py')
print lx_config
#+end_src

#+call: pycalltest(translation,items,customer,details,"german","chf") :file "test.tex"

Can you please provide all the pieces needed to run this? I presume at least
latex.py is needed - anything else?

Thanks,
Nick

could reduce the problem to a small example, seems the table is handled differently when using #+call.

direct evaluation:
[['country', 'Schweiz', 'Switzerland']]

using call:
[['field', 'german', 'english'], None, ['country', 'Schweiz', 'Switzerland']]

#+tblname: transl
| field   | german  | english     |
|---------+---------+-------------|
| country | Schweiz | Switzerland |

#+name: pycalltest(trans=transl)
#+begin_src python :results output
print trans
#+end_src

#+call: pycalltest(transl) :file "test.tex"

ok, found with options hlines and colnames I get the same result for direct evaluation
and call. Problem solved, thanks and sorry for the noise.
