Hmm. If you want TAL statements and all, I suspect you'll have to do as Chris suggested and instantiate a full-blown page template on the fly. I've never done that, if I were going to try I'd probably just start looking at the code in lib/python/Products/PageTemplates. You might be able to instantiate a PageTemplate rather than a ZopePageTemplate, which would be somewhat lighter as it leaves out a lot of stuff you surely don't care about (FTP support, ZMI management tabs, etc). -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com _______________________________________________ Zope maillist - [email protected] http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
