The easiest is simply to pass the argument to the python script as a parameter. If you add var1 to the 'Parameter List' under the 'Edit' tab of the python script, then you can do <dtml-var expr="myscript(var1=var1)"> Alternatively, you can set the REQUEST header <dtml-call expr="REQUEST.set('var1', var1)"> and then in python REQUEST = container.REQUEST RESPONSE = REQUEST.RESPONSE var1 = REQUEST.get('var1') You said you were concerned about security: both of these approaches are less transparent to the user than passing them by the CGI myscript?var1=someval, but determined or savvy users can still read/edit the REQUEST headers, so don't be lulled into a false sense of security.
