Hi Floyd,
I'm a long-time Zope user, more in the context of Plone than anything
else of late, but I valued Zope's TTW approach very much, and I'm very
interested in your problem.

I don't think it need be as much of a stretch as it might seem at first
sight.
If you consider web2py's views, with their ability to encompass Python
code/logic in {{ }} statements as being roughly equivalent to DTML, than
mapping one to another seems at least possible - although it does of
course depend on how intricate your DTML logic is.
Although mapping DTML templates onto web2py's views would be a logical
first step, it would be better to migrate as much of the logic as
possible to the controller, but in terms of moving from one platform to
another, that two step process of DTML -> View, then View -> Controller
would seem to be manageable, subject to the level of complexity of the app.
How practical it would be to perform some sort of mapping in real time
is something else again - but I'm not sure how necessary that really is,
if this is a one time exercise, especially since if you are moving away
from Zope you are also presumably moving away from Zope's ZODB storage,
so there is more than just the templates to consider.
