But here is the code that I am using, you will notice that the user attributes are NOT in the REQUEST object: for user in context.Users.RegistrationInfo.objectValues("UserInfo"): context.sql_users_insert(user) The sql_users_insert takes a bunch of parameters and the "user" object above is a ZClass with properties that have exact names as parameters for zsql method.

Well, if the variables are in REQUEST, zope will bind them to the parameters of the ZSQL Method--as long as the names match. So, I could in effect call <dtml-call sql_insert> without passing any arguments. But I want to mimick this in Python Script. Another "convincing" argument can be found in the Zope Book:
"If you call a Z SQL Method without argument from DTML, the arguments are automatically collected from the environment." http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Books/ZopeBook/current/RelationalDat ab ases.stx#3-66
I am sure there is a way to do this in script, but I don't know how to. I am hoping that someone on this list knows.
Are you convinced now?
Oh, I think I have html turned off now.
OK, suppose your REQUEST object is named request, as in the sample Script (Python). Then use container.sql_insert(request) You arguments will be marshalled for you, as above. Jim Penny

Yes, that would work. But I am trying to do it without all of that.
Dtml does this automatically,
Convince us that it does ;-)
And stop posting in HTML...
