[Zope] getting contents of file into a variable

[Bjørge Solli]

How can I do this?

I try this way:
<dtml-let shovedid="SEMESTERID_HOVED" hovedid="str2int(shovedid)">
where SEMESTERID_HOVED contains one line of integers (20021).
str2int is an external python script just returning the int-cast of
whatever string it gets in.

Traceback (innermost last):

As you can see, it gets the object not the string the object is
containing. So how do I get the contents instead?
