[Zope] call DTMLMethod with parameter from Python

[Damon Eckhoff]

I understand that...  Let me rephrase...
I have myZPT with a form.  The action of that form
is myPythonHandler.  I want to call myDTMLMethod from
within myPythonHandler to format data submitted by the
myZPT form into a string.

so from within myPythonHandler:
result_string = context.myDTMLMethod( ???requestVars??? )

Is this a reasonable thing to do?

I appreciate the help.

Kind Regards,

Damon.
