[Zope-dev] Calling DTML methods from Python

[Kevin Dangoor]

I believe this is in the Collector... My guess is that no one has yet
figured out a good way to make the client and namespace be passed in
automatically. This may not be desirable anyhow, because there may be times
when you want to change the client... I've actually done this once or twice.

I guess there could be something like <dtml-var fooMethod params="x,y,z">.
This is another one of those things that trips up newbies almost
universally, so a good solution here could really help...
