It's only just occurred to us that this doesn't actually meet our needs ;) 
I'm pretty sure that even in the DTML world, this was an issue. It's been a 
while since I've done DTML though :)

The method above (someMethod) is actually a Python Product method. It's got a 
REQUEST argument. I was kinda hoping that ZPT could see that and pass in the 
request argument for me when I have "here/someMethod"...

Wishful thinking? As I noted in my original post, 
"python:here.someMethod(request)" appears in our ZPT a _lot_...
