Hi, This has been buggering me for ages, and I've spent too many hours trying to figure it out already, so I'm resorting to the list for help. :) 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?
