Surely if the file is not found, that's an error because the 
PageTemplateFile is pointing at a source file that doesn't exist.

I cannot think of any reason I'd want not to be informed that the source 
file for a PageTemplateFile isn't there. That's clearly a programming error.

So, I suggest removing the try: except: clause entirely, and letting 
os.stat() raise its error.

Or, am I missing something here?
