Thomas, An example external method: def foo(): return [1,2,3] A DTML method that calls the external method (also named foo) that references the foo method: <dtml-in foo> <dtml-var sequence-item> </dtml-in> returns "1 2 3" <dtml-var "foo()[0]"> returns "1" Another python method: def bar(): return {'a':1, 'b':2, 'c':3} DTML: <dtml-var "bar()['a']"> returns "1" A minor note: please try not to send HTML formatted mail to the list.

Hi,

I got a method in a product that should be able to return a list, a tuple or a dictionary but I cannot seem to use them in the same way as in plain python. Is there anything I should be aware of?

I got a disk-based dictionary ( Berkley DB ) in which I`ve stored several customized classes? If I return a list of objects like this, how could I access this in DTML-code?

If somebody could give me an example on how you can return a little more than just a string from a method to a dtml-document/method I`d be grateful. At the moment nothing but plain strings seem to work.
