But, I can't seem to be able to write a ZClass that does this. I try inheriting from a Python base class and overriding __call__, but the resulting objects don't behave like DTML Methods -- 'self' becomes the instance of that object, instead of the XML Document I'm working on, like it is with DTML Methods.
So, what makes DTML Methods special? Am I going about the right route at all? Any suggestions at all would be very welcome.
Try making your __call__ signature: def __call__(me,self,...): And use 'me' to refer to the instance, self to refer to the object called with. Alternatively, just use REQUEST.PARENTS[0] to refer to the object you're a method of. See the DTML User's Guide. (This only works if the method is called from the web, though.)
