Hello,
I solved this with (org-sbe). For example, using "add-one" and "table" from the
original email
#+Name: test-add-one
#+BEGIN_SRC python :results output values :var data=(org-sbe add-one (data
table))
print(data)
#+END_SRC
#+RESULTS: test-add-one
: 43
Or
src_elisp{(org-sbe add-one (data table))} {{{results(=43=)}}}
-k.
