[Zope] Calling Python script from ZPT

Hello again,
I have a python script that returns an object. I then call that script from DTML, and then call a method on that
object, like this:
<dtml-with expr="getArticleByCategory(findCat='cancer')">
<dtml-var view>
</dtml-with>
I'd like to have my script call the method, and return the resulting HTML, instead, though. My script is the following:
import random
zcat = context.content.Catalog
results = zcat(category=findCat)
itemId = random.choice(results).id
item = context.content.HealthFeatures[itemId]
return item;
When I try to have the script call 'view()', I get a KeyError telling me I'm referencing a non-existent object or
variable "headline" (which happens to be an attribute on that content object). So it looks like I'm having a namespace
problem, which my DTML snippet at the top resolves.
So how do I accomplish in a single python script what I'm accomplishing above using DTML and python?
Much thanks,
bart
