I agree with Igor: the majority of Python I see in ZPTs is performing
tests. The most common use case is coloring table rows, but there are
many more, too many for generic view code to cover.
When an argument needs to be passed, it's an

That doesn't mean they can't go away for sure. It would just mean

That's something we could give some thought. It might not be that hard
to implement a BooleanExpression for TALES...

I use them very rarely, and expect to use them less with Viewlets now
in the picture. But there are still little situations where Python
