<p tal:content="python:here.select_CompanyID()[0].CompanyId">CompanyId</p>

would work (if select_CompanyID don't need parameters passed in..)

why not just write this one as :

<p tal:repeat="item here/select_CompanyID"
   tal:content="item/CompanyId">
   CompanyID
</p>
which is even valid ;) - you cannot have ps within spans in valid HTML
(this has nothing to do with ZPT ;)   )

- and as there is really no need for all those spans anyway, why not
just dump them ?
