[Zope] Passing args to PageTemplateFile instances

Fri Sep 23 07:39:31 EDT 2005

RESULT:
-------------------------------------------
Welcome to testprod

{'args': (<TestProd at /test/testprod used for /test/testprod>,
<HTTPRequest, URL=http://localhost:8080/test/testprod/test_testprod>),
'something': 'blah'}

0

/test/testprod

--------------------------------------------

So it works just fine in Zope 2.8.0
I suspect that the code you paste was idented wrong because the def
testit() function looked like it was part of the __init__ function.
