[Zope] python script returning a 'rendered' zpt

[Tim Nash]

did you try;
something = context.REQUEST.form['target']
somepage = context.REQUEST['URLPATH1'] #may be URL1
some_page_template = context[somepage]
rendered_html = some_page_template(context, somevariable=something)

I'm writing from (faulty) memory here so context[somepage]
may not work. If it doesn't get ahold of the relevant folder by using
resticted traverse and then use:

some_page_template = thefolder[somepage]

If that still doesn't work email me and I will work it out on my
development box. It is def doable.
