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.
