will *not* call the method, it will just try to insert it. The
result will be not a list of objects but a string such as
'<Python Method object at 8681298>'. If you ever see results
like this, there is a good chance that you're returning a
method, rather than calling it.

<dtml-var "objectValues"> will insert a suitable ersatz representation like the string "<Python Method object
at 8681298>". This usually will not be visible in a browser since a browser treats anything between "<" and
">" that it does not recognize as HTML as unknown tag, but it will be visible, when you view the source.
If you really want to see the ersatz repr, <dtml-var "objectValues" html_quote> delivers "<Python Method
object at 8681298>" which a browser shows.
