To the filesystem? In that case, write an External Method that writes a 
file to disk as appropriate. Have it take the parameters that you want 
to write (or perhaps a dictionary) and use those to create your output. 
See http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/bltin-file-objects.html

Have your form submit to a Python Script that takes the necessary info 
out of context.REQUEST and passes that to the external method above. 
Have it return the next page or redirect there.

"Code generators follow the 80/20 rule. They solve most of the problems, but not all of the problems. There are always features and edge cases that will need hand-coding. Even if code generation could build 100 percent of the application, there will still be an endless supply of boring meetings about feature design."
