<!--#var "core.newcurrenttime(nowtime())"--> returns a list, however, I can't seem to fetch the variables it returns.. :\

Any ideas, a pointer to the relevant python code, etc.?

If it returns a dictionary, use dtml-with

<dtml-with expr="core.newcurrenttime(nowtime())" mapping> <dtml-var key1>, <dtml-var keyfoo> </dtml-with>

If it returns a list (sequence), use dtml-in. If it's a list of dictionaries, use the mapping attribute on the dtml-in tag (this lets the dtml-in and dtml-in tags know to use getitem instead of getattr).

Ah, how lame of me (mapping). Thankyouverymuch.
