[ZPT] Build Template w/Macros from Python

[Jim Kutter]

It has to do with that I need to use that form from two very different =
scripts. I figured out a solution, and that cleaned up teh code a bit =
since I was being a bit redundant to start with.

The form had only the form html code, and the entry.html had the =
use-macro call, and basically "included" the form via a tal:replace =
call. What was happening was options indended for the form template =
weren't making it when I called the entry.html template from the script.

I managed to solve my little problem by removing the use-macro call from =
entry.html and having the form call the macro and having the entry.html =
simply include the form.

Thanks though.
