[ZPT] Opening a PageTemplate from a Python Script

Tue Jul 15 07:29:24 EDT 2003

just call your template as if it were a method.
Example:
Template called calculateForm
<body tal:define="result options/result | nothing;">
	<form action="calculateSum">
		<input type="text" name="a" >
		<input type="text" name="b" >
		<input type="text" tal:attributes="value result">
	</form>
</body>
You can  see here how to get the value from the "options" namespace.

The script calculateSumsum :
it has two parameters a,b
sum=int(a)+int(b)
#call the template, 
# assign the parameter result the calculated sum
return calculateForm(result=sum)
