Not really. Practical example:

<dtml-in "map (Catalog.get_object, Catalog(...))">
   perform some operation, like listing the objects, without
   need to bload the Catalog with all properties in the objects
</dtml-in>

And even if I _should_ use Python, then it should at least be
supported in PythonMethods.

But the code you need for that looks mightly ugly, with
temporary variables, lots of REQUEST.set... let's not go there
:-)
