It looks like an aquisition problem. You've got a folder with id 'weights'
that is getting passed instead of the list named 'weights' in the REQUEST
object. Try this:

<dtml-var expr="obtainResults(_.this, REQUEST['weights'])">

This will ensure that the right variable named weights is passed to the
python method.
