Oh yes... I had a use for range() just the other day, and I meant to ask for it. Shall I add the request to Collector?

Good idea, please do. Perhaps we should ask for all (safe) python builtins to be exposed..

I would vote against this. DTML is AFAIK focused towards separation of scripting from HTML. If you need the reuslts of these function calls why not use an external method. This was more natural in BOBO (no need to manually add the method at some other/external point), but this is in the end the cleaner way. DTML functions should be there for easier formatting of HTML but not to build complex program logic into a HTML file. Just my humble opinion, __Janko Hauser
