[Zope] Redirect with results of script to another ZPT

[Charlie Reiman]

You can't, but you can. It depends on what your other requirements are.
Here's three suggestions:

1) Don't redirect. Render the ZPT direction in the python script. This will
show the python scrpit in the clients browser window, but is most secure and
will have the best performance (since there is no round trip to the client).

2) Use a session. Stuff the data into the session object, redirect, and pray
it's there when the second page gets requested. This makes me nervous for
some reason, probably because the whole notion of sessions is nebulous for
the web.

3) Embed the data into the redirect URL. If it's small enough, you could
just tack them on as GET style arguments. This has the disadvantage of
exposing said data directly to the user and will have problems with even
moderate amounts of data.

Even better, why not make the ZPT the target of the form, then call your SQL
stuff from the form? Your solution seems rather roundabout to me.
