Almost surely, the following will work:

       ... loadStyle(i,container.REQUEST)
       ...

The full solution will be to bind the DTML namespace in your Python
Script (usually called '_') and use

       ... loadStyle(i,_)
       ...

This will pass the DTML namespace from a DTML object
through the Python Script to "loadStyle" (in case you need this; which
is probably not the case).

Please read "Calling DTML objects" in
