any suggestions?

any help will be much appreciated !

Where is the error occurring? If you post the traceback - the entire traceback, please - it should show what line in the code the problem lies in.

Also, what is the search.Problem class? I wouldn't need details, just a general overview of the parent class so I can better unerstand the class you're developing.
