There is no implicit binding between namespaces here like there was in
DTML, and that's a good thing! 'options' is just a dictionary (or
dict-alike thing) so it should be easy to map it to kwargs in the python
script or you can just pass it as a single argument. Imagine a script::

  ## Script (Python) "get_stuff"
  ##parameters=stuff
  return 'you passed me %s' % stuff.keys()

And in a template somewhere::

  <div tal:content="python:here.get_stuff(options)">
    Stuff goes here</div>

hth,
