Is there anyway to access the global namespacem, keyword arguments passed to a DTMLFile when defined in a class, from a python method when the method is called from the DTML File, like this:

class A(SomeBaseClass):

b=DTMLFile('dtml/manage_this', globals(), my_variable=1)

def c(self, client=None, REQUEST=None): """DocString""" <get my_variable>

dtml/manage_this: <dtml-var std_header> <dtml-var c> <dtml-var std_footer>

Call your method explicitely and pass the namespace in: <dtml-var expr="c(_.None, _)"> In "c", you can then use "REQUEST['my_variable']" (or "REQUEST.getitem('my_variable')"). You can use "REQUEST.has_key" to check for the existence of a variable. -- Dieter
