This code is too ugly in order to think about a proper migration.
You write a python script that prepares the data to rendered. You can
the script from the ZPT and iterate over the results using tal:repeat.
tal:content is your friend for rendering dynamic content...but
you should really read the three ZPT chapters of "The  Zope Book"
before starting in order to understand what you can do with ZPT.
