[Zope] Python seems to render html, can this be turned off or escaped?

Ok, thanks for the info

The problem is not with python, it is that when you click on the test
tab at the top of the python script editing page (within the ZMI) the
data is being displayed in your web browser - which interprets html
commands.

If you want to see the html tags (for debugging purposes) when you click
on the 'test' tab try something like:

return '<textarea>'+mystring+'</textarea>

This will do two things:  (1) prove that it is your browser interpreting
the html tags in the string (because your browser will create a textarea
field) and (2) allow you to see the actual contents of 'mystring'

If you dont want to display the data when you get back to dtml, use the
dtml-call tag or the dtml-let tag to store the data in a local variable
for future use (instead of calling the python script with dtml-var).
