[Zope-DB] Testing for empty result set

[Aaron Fosdick]

Martin,

Other people (aka Charlie) have more elegant solutions than me, but I 
just do the following.

Assuming your query looks like:
<div tal:define="results python:here.somequery();
... >

You can test within the body:
<span tal:condition="not:results">No results found....</span>
