Go to the bindings tab and bind the namespace to _.
(Not sure why this wasn't done by default :-S)

Then just do:

_.getitem(context.REQUEST['variablenameinastring'])

I wonder why REQUEST isn't one of the things you can bind.
Or RESPONSE for that matter :-S

cheers,

Chris

PS: answer to own question: put REQUEST and RESPONSE in the parameter list :-)
(If you do that, you don't need to 'context.' before the REQUEST above...)
