Well, that's what I thought too, but when I do that, then Zope throws the=20
error that I haven't given an argument when one is called for. I call the=20
script thus:
<dtml-var myaffiliateprogram>
with no argument because there isn't a need to pass one. Even if I do throw=
=20
a bogus argument in:
<dtml-var myaffiliateprogram(foo')>
it still throws the error about self.

P.S. For those following along, here's the skinny:

Again, here's the script:

import string

def myaffiliateprogram():
  user_id, banner_id, page =3D=20
self.REQUEST['user_id'],self.REQUEST['banner_id'],self.REQUEST['page']
  redirect =3D=20
"http://www.myaffiliateprogram.com/u/%(user_id)s/t.asp?id=3D%(banner_id)s&p=
=3D%(page)s"=20
% locals()
  print "Location: %(redirect)s\n" % locals()
