what you can try: <dtml-var "_.getitem(pagetoget)">

Thanks very much for your quick responses! This produces an AttributeError, with an ErrorValue: _hash_. --- as i understand it you have objects in the same folder as the python scripts. and the objuect ids are similar ias in dayx.htm. try this first, without the python script <dtml-var "_.getitem('day1.htm',1)"> (tested and works) you need to check what your python script return
