I can tell you, why you get the syntax error.
Luis Cortes has told you, how you could do your job.
Explanation:
Python distinguishes between expressions which can be "eval"ed
and commands which can be "exec"ed.
Assignments are commands, as are definitions, if, for, while constructs.
Zope uses "eval" to evaluate expressions in DTML-tags.
"eval" raises a SyntaxError when confronted with a command.
