[Zope] dtml acquisition

[Andrew Altepeter]

Doh!

I answered my own question.  I have been struggling with this for a day
now, and I finally understand!

What was happening was that, whether it is a dtml method or document,
when called from within a python script, I needed to pass that dtml
object the scripts container object.  Then, to get to the
choose_template script from within the dtml object, I could just go:

<dtml-var expr="container.choose_template(params)">

Thanks for the help :-)
