following your suggestion (if I've understood) I tried this script:

## Script (Python) "formatdate_py"
##bind container=container
##bind context=context
##bind namespace=
##bind script=script
##bind subpath=traverse_subpath
##parameters=d
##title=
##
# Import a standard function, and get the HTML request and response
objects.
from Products.PythonScripts.standard import html_quote
request = container.REQUEST
RESPONSE =  request.RESPONSE

return d.day


and then called it from a page template with:

<i tal:content="python: here.formatdate_py(item.data)"></i>

but it's sadly the same...

<<You are not allowed to access 'day' in this context>>

and it dosn't change if I pass 'item' to the script an access the field
'data' inside it


thanks for your help
