This needs a bit more context.  Is this PythonMethod being called from
another object, or is it the target of the request?  I ask because the
following works for me, if it is the target:

<params>self, REQUEST</params>
print self.standard_html_header(self, REQUEST)
print self.manage_tabs(self, REQUEST)
print '<h1>Test</h1>'
print self.standard_html_footer(self, REQUEST)
return printed

When called from a DTML Method with <dtml-var expr="do_tabs(this(), _)">, the
following also works:
<params>client, _</params>
return client.manage_tabs(client, _)
