I meant exactly what you did, set up the catalog as you would for any type
of search.

As mentioned by Casey, this is not necessary.  In fact, you want these *not*
in the catalog.

Your first parameter to catalog_object is 'Product', but there is no such
object.  It should probably read:

  for Product in container.getProdToCatalog():

This, BTW, pointed me to the same mistake in the catalogArticles() Python
script of my HowTo, which I just fixed.

Also, is it getProdToCatalog or getProdtoCatalog?  Case is important and
this may be why you're getting the exception.
