[Zope] SQL Method, dtml-with and namespace weirdness

[Mayers, Philip J]

Sorry - I'm being unclear: the result is exactly the same either way i.e.
the variables "name" and "domain" seem to be reset to the values from
outside the dtml-in block when entering the dtml-with block.

I'm wondering if it's a bug in the postgres DA, since I can't reproduce it
with a quick gadfly test. I'm just going to try it out now.

I'm using Zope 2.2.5, PoPy 2.0.1 from SourceForce, and ZPoPyDA-1.1-pre2 - I
couldn't get any (potentially more stable) combination of PoPy or ZPoPyDA to
work.

Regards,
Phil

What happens when you try that? Errors? Unexpected values?

Yes, it is frustrating how long it's taking for that to get printed, I
wonder what's holding it up?

I remember seeing the posts relating to that, did you ever find out why
it wasn't working?

Wise choice, but you mean python scripts in 2.3 ;-)
You can actually download Python _Methods_ right now and use them in
2.2.5:
