@pulbrich ,
Thanks, and I should have picked up on that even with my limited experience in Python, since all I've been working in is 3x Python.
This DID cause the code to print the set after "All scanned codes:' , but then as usual popped another 'No method found for stringValue' error with it. That likely is an issue nested in P2x v P3x code as this was.
For what I want to use this code for, it really doesn't matter at all, because what i want to do is build a function and nest it in the seeding of the found_codes to send off the data to a database, so this was more a frustration/curiosity that I really wanted to see resolved for my own benefit more than the project I'm working on.
THANKS!
