[Zope] Form action with Python script and arguments

[Cliff Ford]

You could pass the extra argument to the form in a hidden field:

<FORM action="my_py_script" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="arg" value="<dtml-var argval>">

Assuming you are talking about a python script added with the ZMI you 
get the form parameters from the REQUEST object:

argValue=context.REQUEST.arg
