They're the same. It shouldn't make a difference.

Coz ComputedAttribute is a stupid Zope2ism that only works in an 
acquisition context.

I still think you're overcomplicating things. You don't really need any 
python code. Just register your macro template as a browser:page and 
then access the macro in the other template via 
context/@@viewname_of_the_macrotemplate/macroname. I've spelt this out 
already, it's your choice to do it or not. I won't give any predictions 
on what else might work or not since this is the standard way of 
accessing macros...
