Lots of ways to do it in ZPT, again, but this is roughly how I'd do it off 
the top of my head.

<tal:loop define="perm_or_temp python:request.get('perm_or_temp', 'P')"
          repeat="radiodata python: ({'value':'P','label':'Permanent'},
                                     {'value':'T','label':'Temporary'})">
  <input type="radio" name="perm_or_temp"
         tal:attributes="value radiodata/value;
                         checked python: perm_or_temp == radiodata/value">
  <div tal:replace="radiodata/label">Permanent/Temporary</div>
</tal:loop>
