Well, post the bits of ZPT and Python Script that aren't working and I can help ;-)

If you could make that not DTML, your life would get even easier, since to call 
a page template, you could replace:

   # Prepare to call the view method on the content object
   dtml_method = item.view
   REQUEST = context.REQUEST

   # Call the method in the context of that item and return the results
   retVal = dtml_method(client=item, REQUEST=REQUEST)

   return retVal

with:

   return item.view()

...since ZPT has very well defined and consistent calling semantics, whereas 
DTML doesn't ;-)

cheers,
