[Zope] Returning lists from python back to dtml

[Charlie Reiman]

You can use the mapping option for dtml-in, as several people have already
mentioned. But you should also look into using a brain to wrap your returned
objects. Depending on your needs, a brain may prove more useful (or not).

The Zope Book covers both options pretty well.
