Yeeech!  You want mapply!  That's the magical apply function that the
publishing machinery uses, and while it makes a fine impedance matcher for
direct requests, I shudder to think of using it for intrasystem calls.
Can't you change your Product's method, or add a new one, so that you don't
have to pass REQUEST to it?  You can always acquire it from self, as in:

  def foo(self):
    req = self.REQUEST
    #whatever

Cheers,
