Yes, that will work but it isn't getting the parameter from the REQUEST object, which is the behaviour I was trying (and failing) to implement...i.e. if the parameter is not passed in the call, Zope is supposed to look for a match in the REQUEST object and use that but, for me, that's not happening.

Sorry, I read your original message too quickly.  Try the following call to your python script:

 

<dtml-var "hello('John')">

 

This should work.

Thanks for the input. I was really wondering why the Python script
version didn't work. FYI your DTML didn't work as expected either when using 'name'. I changed it to 'nome' and I worked. I think there is a clash in the namespace with 'name'. Unfortunatly it didn't fix the Python version. ho hum...

The REQUEST.set command creates a variable within the REQUEST namespace
called 'name' (in your example) and places 'John' as the contents of that
variable.

To print out the contents of that variable:

<p> this is html
Hello <dtml-var name><br>
</p>
