You could pass the extra argument to the form in a hidden field: <FORM action="my_py_script" method="post"> <input type="hidden" name="arg" value="<dtml-var argval>"> Assuming you are talking about a python script added with the ZMI you get the form parameters from the REQUEST object: argValue=context.REQUEST.arg HTH Cliff Henk Jansen wrote:

I have two problems when I want for pass <FORM ...> information into a Python Script:

1) Besides passing the FORM data, I also need to pass an extra argument into the Python script that was passed (as <URL>?arg=argval) by the URL. A thing like:

<FORM action=my_py_script(arg=<dtml-var argval>)

doesn't work. Neither does:

<FORM action="my_py_script(arg=<dtml-var argval>")

What's the proper syntax for passing extra arguments to a Python script in a FORM action?

2) How do I access the FORM data in a Python script? I've tried "import cgi" but a call to cgi.FieldStorage() was met by a message that I wasn't authorized to make this call ...

Thanks,
