i have a python script that ends with

  return getattr(context, 'a_page_template', None).render()

this works like a charm, rendering the page template and outputting
it as if the python script produced it.

however, i am not sure how i can pass some information (e.g.
a username) to the page template. so far i have been using the
REQUEST object, but that's an ugly hack, and it also doesn't work
(see previous post), so i'd like to do it right. how?
