I suspect you're going to want to store client side template separately from
the ZPT and inject it at render time. Does this work?
In Python:
jstemplate = "blah blah blah <% some expression %> blah blah"
rendered = render_template("template.pt", jstemplate=jstemplate)
In ZPT:
blah blah
<div tal:replace="structure jstemplate"/>
blah blah
