I'd like to be more precise. Suppose my_method is:

def my_method(self):
    if self.REQUEST.has_key('my_var'):
        return "oh yes"
    return "boooo"


Now, I write in DTML:

<p><!--#var my_method--></p>
<p><!--#with "_.namespace(my_var='my_value')"-->
<!--#var my_method--><br>
<!--#var my_var-->
<!--#/with--></p>

Believe me or not, the result is:

boooo
boooo
my_value

You can now understand why I ask how to access the variable
namespace from external methods. How can I test the existence
of my_var, and access its value???

Keep the good work, I might ask you some of your photos for
my daily worship :-)
