[Zope] different namespaces in a python script by calling it by<dtml-var xxx> and <dtml-var "xxx()">?

[Grégoire Weber]

Sorry I wanted to add the following note to the previous 
e-mail but it took me longer than 10 minutes to find it
so my e-mail client sent the queued e-mail before 
automatically :-)

Zope Book pdf version page 137

Namespace
The Namespace binding is left blank by default. This is an 
advanced variable that you will not need for any of the 
examples in this book. If your script is called from a DTML 
Method, and you have chosen a name for this binding, then 
the named variable contains the DTML namespace explained in
Chapter 7, "Advanced DTML". Also, if this binding is set, 
the script will search for its parameters in the DTML 
                ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
namespace when called from DTML without explicitly passing 
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
any arguments.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

But why do I have to do the '_=_' thing? Bug?
