[Zope] passing parameter problem

[Laura McCord]

I tried what you suggested and that did not work either. actStatus will
not be null.
tal:define="actStatus result/Active_Inactive" returns either active or
inactive and that is working correctly. 

This is what my python script looks like which includes a parameter,
actStatus:
if actStatus == 'active':
 return "#000"
if actStatus == 'inactive':
 return "#b7b7b7"

I have been working on this for two days straight and it has me stumped.

Any help or suggestions would be great.

Thanks,
 Laura

That seems correct to me. actStatus can be None?

IIRC you should user statChk(string('${actStatus}')) or 
statChk(path('actStatus'))
