hi, James,

if you want to use Python variables with the Python interface, then you
can just do 

	twill.commands.fv(formname, fieldname, value)

If you want to communicate values from Python into the twill language,
you can do something like this:

	from twill.namespaces import get_twill_glocals()
	global_dict, local_dict = get_twill_glocals()

	global_dict['varname'] = value

'varname' will then be available to 'fv' in a twill script:

	>> fv 1 field $varname

I'll put this into the docs; thanks for reminding me!

cheers,
