ok, thanks Duncan <ul> <li tal:define="query nocall:here/testquery" tal:repeat="result python:query(id='IT')"> <span tal:replace="result/lastname">lastname goes here</span> </li> </ul> works! I went down a blind alley with calling the database adapter due to confusion over the error message produced. Backs up my point about more friendly and usable error messages. Much appreciated!

Module Products.PTProfiler.ProfilerPatch, line 32, in __patched_call__ Module Products.PageTemplates.ZRPythonExpr, line 47, in __call__ - __traceback_info__: query(id='IT') Module Python expression "query(id='IT')", line 1, in <expression> AttributeError: Results instance has no __call__ method
That is because you already called the function.
The tal:define="query here/testquery" is (roughly) equivalent to: tal:define="query python:here.testquery()". If you want to use a path expression which evaluates to something callable so that you have a shorter name later when you call it then you explicitly say you don't want to call it:
tal:define="query nocall:here/testquery"
