The problem being that Python uses . as the object hierarchy
separator. Personally, I use a real text editor for Zope work.

This code works however, unless you have some oddball version of Zope.
It'll give nasty errors if studentlist.html doesn't exist, but there
you go.
getattr(context, "studentlist.html")(data=d)
