[Zope] html_quote in python methods?

I am using Python Methods a lot now.
Good:
no more <dtml-with> to get to the objects I need. Yay!
no more worrying about closing blocks. Yay!
OK, when I make a syntax error, there is no help in the traceback. My
Python is getting better and better as a result.
To give something back, I have a hint that took me a while to figure
out:
print '<td width="33%">%s</td>' % (self.thevariable)
will not work. The first % needs to be escaped like so:
print '<td width="33%%">%s</td>' % (self.thevariable)
Now, can I use html_quote in a Python Method? I am letting people enter
data for redisplay, and I know some Bozo (TM) will somehow put in
"<table>"
and break the page.
Can I keep this from happening? html_quote does not seem to be in the
Python Method namespace.
