Python methods don't have the bindings of container and context etc.
The Python object it self have a wrapped acquisition context where
you can access the context directly from self  and it's parents
from aq_parent(self) or aq_parent(aq_inner(self)) which gives it
the parent of container context (in acquisition the context can be
modified like the dtml-with tag does using the __of__ method.)

Also if a method should be callable TTW it should define
client, REQUEST=None as the first arguments.
REQUEST is actually accessible from the acquisition context
of self now days enabling self.REQUEST to be used.
And client is very seldom used to my knowledge.

Also if DTML calles DTML be sure to call it with
the mapping object, e.g. "dtml_method(_.None, _)".
Also calling from Python include the self and REQUEST,
like this: dtml_method(self, REQUEST=REQUEST)

Hope this helps you.
