You can pass the DTML method to the external method, as in:

def callback(self, REQUEST, dtmlmeth):
    dtmlmeth(self, REQUEST, arg1 = 1, arg2 = 'foo')

Or you can acquire the method, as in:

def callback(self, REQUEST):
    self.adtmlthing(self, REQUEST, arg1 = 'bah')

In either case, you need to make sure you pass a proper client and
namespace as the first two arguments, and the rest as keyword arguments.
