Actually, I need to do this in Python, since I'm calling the MailHost. I
figured out how to do that, but discovered that's not what I wanted <:-)
What I *really* need is to be able to call the values the visitor enters
into the fields in the form. For example, on the page to which POST sends I
would write something like this in DTML:
<dtml-var the_variable_the_visitor_filled_in_goes_here>
and it would render the information accordingly. I need to do that in
*Python*, not ZPT. How?
TIA,
