[Zope] Passing Arguments to ZSQL Method from Python Script

[Chris A. Bruce]

But here is the code that I am using, you will notice that the user
attributes are NOT in the REQUEST object:

for user in context.Users.RegistrationInfo.objectValues("UserInfo"):

  context.sql_users_insert(user)

=20

The sql_users_insert takes a bunch of parameters and the "user" object
above is a ZClass with properties that have exact names as parameters
for zsql method.

OK, suppose your REQUEST object is named request, as in the sample
Script (Python).

Then use

    container.sql_insert(request)

You arguments will be marshalled for you, as above.
