[Zope] calling dtml methods from python

[Chris Kratz]

A couple of ways to do it:

# of if _ is bound to the (Script) Python in the bindings tab

print _.getitem('methodName')                  # 1. No passing of parms,
gets object via acquisition
print container.methodName(context, _)  #   2. if it exists in the same
folder or container as the python script
print container.methodName(context, _, someParm='Some Value') # This makes a
some value show up inside
# of the dtml method namespace, ie <dtml-var someParm> will work.  Great for
passing stuff into a function
# without having to clutter REQUEST.

# If you want to use acquisition and pass parms...
myFunction = _.getitem('methodName')                          # 3. Find the
function in the namespace
print myFunction(context, _, someParm='Some Value')  # Print it (or do
something else with it.)

return printed
