I understand that... Let me rephrase... I have myZPT with a form. The action of that form is myPythonHandler. I want to call myDTMLMethod from within myPythonHandler to format data submitted by the myZPT form into a string. so from within myPythonHandler: result_string = context.myDTMLMethod( ???requestVars??? ) Is this a reasonable thing to do? I appreciate the help. Kind Regards, Damon.
I can only give you a hint. In ZPT _ is here. Therefore you could try : <span tal:replace="structure python:here.myDTMLMethod( None, here, optionalkey1='yada' )"> ...

I'm trying to clarify how to call a DTML Method with parameters from a python script. The docs I've read say to call it something like this:
result_string = context.myDTMLMethod( None, _, optionalkey1='yada' )
But the python script I have is being called from a Page Template as a result of a form action. I don't understand how to change this to work without the _ or how to pass a REQUEST mapping to the DTMLMethod.
Currently, when I make the call:
result_string = context.formatResult()
result_string actually contains the dtml code of formatResult (un-rendered)
