If "region" is a text index, the corresponding (indexed) value should
be a string. I do not know (doubt it) that ZCatalog can index
lists in a text index.

That is clear:

  "in" is a Python operator.
  "region in zregion" evaluates to either 0 or 1.
  Thus, you call:

	"Catalog(meta_type='ZClass_seite_press',1)"

  Not what you want... And Python does it neither...
