Calling a zsql method from a python script does use request. At least I have the following in a script: context.sql_wo() sql_wo being a zsql method requiring two parameters that are in the form portion of request.

So, I could in effect call <dtml-call sql_insert> without passing any arguments. But I want to mimick this in Python Script. Another "convincing" argument can be found in the Zope Book: "If you call a Z SQL Method without argument from DTML, the arguments are automatically collected from the environment." http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Books/ZopeBook/current/RelationalDatab ases.stx#3-66 I am sure there is a way to do this in script, but I don't know how to. I am hoping that someone on this list knows. Are you convinced now? Oh, I think I have html turned off now.

Yes, that would work. But I am trying to do it without all of that. Dtml does this automatically,
