[ZPT] Passing parameter to Python Script

[Grant Thibdeau]

Thank you, these are both exactly what I was looking for!!! Sorry for the 
simple question, altho now I have a different one, where would I need to 
define the request in the zpt? I'm assuming I have to tell the template to 
look somewhere, and that defining request would be telling it where to 
look? I kinda thought that request was one of the special words which looks 
stuff up in the header?  doing it with request makes the most sense, but 
it's claiming that I need to define request somewhere, any thoughts?

Sorry for spamming the list with n00b questions, I've just gotten quite 
stuck on this and can't get around it.


Again, thank you very much!!
