Untested, but what about <span tal:replace="here/my_Zsql_method()">,
perhaps with any needed parameters inside the parentheses? At least
for most of my experience, if calling some sort of logic code results
in some sort of instance or reference, then adding the parentheses at
the end to make it a proper function call tends to fix it. DTML would
let you be sloppy with the calling convention, where ZPT and Python
itself tend to be more strict.
