[Zope] Calling DTML from a python script

[Chris Meyers]

Figured this out with the help of ZopeLabs (http://www.zopelabs.com/). To call a DTML Document w/ a python script, use:

return context.zopeObject(context,context.REQUEST)

They then click the submit button which calls a python script which gets the information from context.REQUEST and builds an XML statement along with some other stuff. The script then calls a ZSQL method which inserts this XML and other stuff into a requests storage database table. I would then like my python script to call a DTML Document which will display the results of a query of a different table based on the info the user had input, which is where I am running into problems.

I have also tried using setVirtualRoot, but that isn't working either. So now I have to ask for help. How do I call a DTML Document from a python script when the Document is in a subfolder of the folder holding the script?
