Quick question: if I do this:
<dtml-let somevariable="'whatever'"> <dtml-var pythonScript> </dtml-let>
how do I get at the value of somevariable in pythonScript? I'd assume by binding the namespace _ and doing _['something'] but that raises a key-error ..
The nearest info I could find on this in a websearch is: http://www.zope-forum.org/forum/viewthread.php?FID=24&TID=519 but I couldn't quite figure that out ..
The easiest way is the same way you would use to send a named parameter to a dtml method. Say your Python script is called "py_1", and it expects a parameter named "theVar". Here is what you can do: <dtml-let p1=" 'This is a test' "> <dtml-var "py_1(theVar=p1)"> </dtml-let> Note that I have added two spaces in the value of p1 so you can see the difference between double and single quotes. Of course, the value of p1 does not have to be a string; if your script accepts a number, you can write: <dtml-let p1="4"> <dtml-var "py_1(theVar=p1)"> </dtml-let> Cheers, Tom P
