In most instances the REQUEST should be all you ever need. You can safely pass a REQUEST as second parameter to a DTML Method (most of the time). If you *really* want to be called with a namespace the preferred way is to derive your class from Shared.DC.Scripts.Bindings.

I have two functions, PlainFunc and DTMLFunc, where PlainFunc is Python method in a file system product, and DTMLFunc is a DTML Method in the ZODB.
What I want to do is this:
ZPublisher calls PlainFunc (publishes it) PlainFunc calls DTMLFunc
in such a way that DTMLFunc gets everything it needs, e.g., namespace, but PlainFunc can do funky things to this namespace before-hand (like insert a few variables into it). In other words, I want a Python method to wrap around a DTML method.
I've encountered many problems caused by the awkward calling conventions for DTML methods and the automagic switching between different calling conventions by the ZPublisher (isDocTemp; can I set that for a normal Python method?). Right now, I'm struggeling because I cannot get the namespace to be passed to PlainFunc, therefore PlainFunc cannot pass the namespace on to DTMLFunc. Any clues?
