This is a thing I absolutely want to avoid. I simply need to pass an object directly from one template to another, without intermediate steps (like, copying or creating the object with some manage_*method from a template, read the created object from the other template and then remove the object itself because unuseful..).

In python it is so immediate: I pass objects between functions via parameters; in zope the most natural way to "simulate" parameters passing from one zpt and another is storing them inside the request object, and thus, using html forms. But for some reasons that I'm missing, it doesn't work!

passing objects from one template to another via the REQUEST variable only works while you're in ONE request. otherwise you'll get a string representation as you mentioned. try using the session mechanism instead: http://www.plope.com/Books/2_7Edition/Sessions.stx regards, juergen herrmann _______________________________________________________________________
