[Zope] Getting the contents of an acquired dtml method in a python script

I'm sure this is something simple, but none of my searches have uncovered the magical sequence. I've got several sites running from a single Zope folder. Some of the content and much of the functionality is shared among the different states. Each state folder contains dtml methods containing state-specific information (abbreviation, the id number used in the database, etc.) My script needs to get the contents of the abbreviation method for some URL munging, and I can't for the life of me figure out how to get it via script. Any suggestions? Thanks!
