Actually, when I remove that __call__ method from namedtemplate.py,
the zope.formlib tests still pass (and in fact all 5868 tests from
bin/test.py pass). Tested on the Zope 2.10 branch.
So I would say: either the call method should be fixed by making it
return the value it has just calculated, or it should be removed.
When I remove the call method, my own code sill throws an error, a
different one now:
AttributeError: NamedTemplateImplementation instance has no __call__ method
For a minute I thought I could work around that by directly using the
only line from the above class that I really need:
template = getAdapter(self, INamedTemplate, 'myname')
But that still throws the same AttributeError.
I must be doing something strange...
