Well, let me point out in fact you return only one variable :-)
(And btw, you can construct lists much easier - no need for
a, b and append() :-)
To have easy access to a lot of names throughout your ZPT,
the usual pattern is to call your ZPT from controller
python script.
Like this:
a='yo'
b='wuzzup'
return context.yourZPT(a=a,b=b)
and in your ZPT you access the values simply by:
options/a and options/b
this can be extended by using arbitrary nested dictionaries
(and lists for loops)
a=dict(name='peter',age=25)
return context.yourZPT(a=a) # left hand 'a' is the name you use
# inside ZPT of course
and inside ZPT: options/a/name options/a/age
