[Zope] DTML rendering from python?

[Dario Lopez-Kästen]

there is a recipe on ZopeLabs that I wrote, that takes a piece of text and
renders is as if it where DTML:

http://www.zopelabs.com/cookbook/1011691351

"This is a simple way of rendering strings as if
they where DTML from PythonScripts.

Sometimes you might need to generate DTML code or,
as is my case, you store all your content in a external
datastore (like a RDBMS) and oly have access to your
code in textual format. "

Should be trivial to adapt to standar Python for use in a Product.

Hope this helps,
