So I thought at first. Except there is a problem:

Inside 'DocumentTemplate' there's another 'DocumentTemplate' module. So doing:

 'from DocumentTemplate.DT_Util import parse_params'

... tries to import DT_Util from the relative module. Then the fix is to do:

 'from __future__ import absolute_import'

... except that doesn't work on Python 2.4.

So the try: except seems to be the only way around here, unfortunately.

Another option might be to switch this to use zope.documenttemplate. :)
