Python Script:
return container['page.pt'](field1=something, field2=something)

ZPT:

<input type="text" name="field1" tal:attributes="value options/field1">

Or if you want to handle errors:

return container['page.pt'](field1=something, errors = {'field1': 'yada 
yada'},
     field2=something)

(the form action points back to your Python script, with some hidden 
field meaning that it should process form results)

<div class="error" tal:condition="options/errors/field1 | nothing" 
tal:content="options/errors/field1">error</div>
<input type="text" name="field1" tal:attributes="value request/field1 | 
options/field1">
