[Zope] ZPT + python script problem

[Felix Ulrich-Oltean]

I'm not sure I understand you correctly, but if your script returns a
dictionary like this:

{'Hours' : value, 'Mins' : othervalue}

then you could do something like:

<span tal:define="Times here/GetProjectsPython;
                  Hours python:Times['Hours'];
                  Mins  python:Times['Mins']"
     tal:replace="string:${Hours} is ${Mins}">
</span> Time in hours and minutes

I think that when you say "string:${Times/Hours}", zope will look for
either:

a) a method called Hours on the object Times, just like "here/object/absolute_url" calls the absolute_url() method on "object"

or

b) a contained item, like in a folder, e.g. "here/myImage"

but it finds neither.

In any case, using the python: prefix in your expressions might help
you out.

Hope that makes sense,

Felix.
