[Zope] passing object from dtml to python script

[andres@corrada.com]

Yes its possible to pass objects to scripts you call in dtml.

One way to fix your syntax error is to write:

<form method="post" action="<dtml-var "complete_or_not(x)" url>" ... >

But that will just create the url where your user will go once they click
their button.

If you want to avoid passing hidden fields take a look at the 
CoreSessionTracking product.

In general you can call a script with something like:

<dtml-var "someScrip(mySpecialObject=x)">

or

<dtml-call "someScriptWhoseSideEffectsIDoNotWantToSee(mySpecialObject=x)">
