[Zope] passing parameters from dtml-method to Script (Python)

[Satchidanand Haridas]

Hi,

A work around to your problem is using <dtml-let>:

<dtml-let pid="getProjectIdMTD" bid="getBatchIdMTD">
   <b><center>
      <dtml-let result="gimmeBack(a=pid,b=bid)">          <dtml-var result>
      </dtml-let>
   </center></b>
</dtml-let>

But this is a work around and there might be a better solution. For a 
response on a similar problem, check this posting on the Zope mailing list:
