I have an SQL database that I want to populate using an external Python method (because I have file I/O code).

So I have something like this:

DTML Document named import_file which has: <dtml-call "parsefile()">

---- parsefile is my external Python method.

def parsefile (self): # blah, blah self.record_info (arg1=value1,arg2=value2) You break the namespace chain here.

If "record_info" is indead a DTML document (and not a method!), then you should nevertheless be able to access "LookupPrinter" by acquisition. I do not know, why it does not work. You can avoid to break the namespace chain: <dtml-call "parsefile(_)"> def parsefile(self,namespace): self.record_info(None,namespace,arg1=value1,....) Dieter
