[Zope] Newbie question

[Matthew Fairclough]

I'm passing a record to a python script to alter the variable names in 
the record (using the :records function). The script works when I insert 
the record manually, but when I pass it from dtml I get a 'replace' 
error.  I think it's because the record is not a string so it can't be 
used with the string.replace method.

How do I pass the record as a string?

This is driving me nuts, I hope someone can help me.

Many thanks,

Matthew.
