      The action script can do all kinds of things. It can validate
      input, handle errors, send email, and more.  Here's a sketch of
      how to validate input with a script::

        ## Script (Python) "action"
        ##
        if not context.validateData(request):
            # if there's a problem return the form page template
            # along with an error message
            return context.formTemplate(error_message='Invalid data')

        # otherwise return the thanks page
        return context.responseTemplate()

         Whats the differnce between using "container.", above, "context." as in this example, and "here." as at the
         beginning of this chapter?

         As far as I am aware (dealing with ZOPE only for some days):
         - 'container' refers to the folder, which holds the python script (the root from where it is aquired)
         - 'context' is the folder, from which the script is called (possibly aquiring it from some parent folder)
         - 'here' is equivalent to 'context', being used in page templates instead of python scripts
