on zope2.5.1, i do get the necessary objects.=20
e.g

dtml-method
<dtml-var standard_html_header>
<h2><dtml-var title_or_id> <dtml-var document_title></h2>
<p><dtml-var expr=3D"te(a=3D'string',b=3D['1','a'])">
</p>
<dtml-var standard_html_footer>

script python=20
#parameters a, b
return a,b

gives me=20
('string',['1','a'])
which is right
