[Zope] Newbie product question

[Andy McKay]

Take out the except: pass at the bottom of the code. If the PageTemplate is
not being created due to an error, it will tell you the error. Generally
doing an except: pass is considered bad practice as it can hide any problem
and make code hard to debug.
