I'd like to turn some old DTML docs into ZPTs so my design partner can make
them pretty. The pages use ZSQL Methods to display and update data. My first
goal is simply to access data from a database using a ZSQL method and
display it in a template; my second to manipulate the data.

Here are my questions:

1. Is there already a tutorial or documentation on ZPT + ZSQL (+Python)?

2. If not, where is a good place for me to turn for related documentation.
I've seen some past posts here, but they don't really make sense to me
(yet), as I've never used python with zsql methods (or in Zope in any
fashion for that matter).

Also, while I'm at it, I thought I'd try to provide documentation to other
people trying to do this, along with of a simple generic ZPT, Python Script,
and ZSQL Method that all work together. Or has this been done already?
