[Zope] DTML namespace from Python Script

[Terry Hancock]

I could've sworn I saw the answer to this at one point, but now
I can't find it:

How can I access the "_" namespace in a Python Script?

E.g., within a DTML Method I can use "_.SecurityGetUser()" to
get the current authenticated user, but I've tried a lot of
different versions in a Python Script and none of them seems
to work:

SecurityGetUser()
_.SecurityGetUser()
context.SecurityGetUser()

and so on. It seems to me that I *ought* to be able to use the
same calling convention in either DTML Python expressions or
within a Python script.  Curiously the first choice above would
seem to be implied by the use of Python "builtins" such as
"int()", which is refered to as "_.int()" within DTML.  But I've
tried it -- it doesn't work here, I just get an attribute error.

It's this kind of "except on Tuesday" design that really
frustrates me about Zope, in case any developers are tuned
in!  I could go on, but it would just be a rant.

Anyone know the arcane incantation I'm supposed to use for
this? Any pointers appreciated!

Thanks!
Terry
