[Zope] using a DTMLFile in a python product method

[Matthew Wilbert]

Casey,

Thanks for the quick response.

I tried calling it using apply, but I couldn't get the call right.  It lo=
oked like other code called something like

apply(DTMLFile(file,globals()),(),kw)

but I don't know what arguments it needs--if it works
without arguments, I don't think I tried that.

Anyway, if that's the correct approach, I'll play around
with it some more until I get it to work.

Thanks again,

or if you convert it to string, but that isn't being done, explicitly.at =
least.

It would seem you are returning the DTMLFile object itself. I would
suggest returning the rendered result of the object instead by calling
it and returning the resulting data.
