[Zope] Re: How to pass arbitrary objects to a ZPT from Script(Python)

[Martin Diers]

Ok. Time to eat crow here.

The problem was a de-referencing problem. Here is the proper way to de-reference the result-set so
that I have a single record in a variable:

<span tal:define="global result python:options['results'][0]" tal:omit-tag=""/>

In other words, by passing a result set with a single record via the options dictionary, I had to
unwrap a dictionary contained in a list contained in a dictionary.

Does anyone know why it is not possible to reference a list element by number, using a simple TAL
path statement? It would sure be nice to write a statement like this:

<span tal-define="result options/records/0 | nothing"/>

In this case, if there were no records value, the statement would default to nothing. Otherwise,
result would receive the first element of the list stored in records.
