<dtml-var "_.get_size(_['<dtml-var "path[11:]">'])"> This is an FAQ (as you can imagine).
The list has a searchable archive, where you can find anwsers to FAQ's. I think, you will also find a compiled FAQ list via the Zope documentation portal (zdp.zope.org). This time, still , I will answer your question: if you would like to use "<dtml-var ...>" inside a Python expression, you can simply omit it (just use the "...") in most cases. It is more safe, however, to use "_[...]" instead, as this gives the same result. In your case (I suppose "path" is a string giving the filename (without path component) that can access the file from the current context!), you could probably use: <dtml-var "_.get_size(_[path[11:]])"> If "path[11:]" contains pathname component, you probably will need to use "restrictedTraverse" (--> Online API reference).
