[Zope] Call PageTemplateFile class instances

[Peter Bengtsson]

I've kind of work it out. The trick is to write some boiler plate in
the class definition like this::

from zope import traversing, component, interface
from zope.interface import implements
from zope.traversing.interfaces import ITraversable

from Products.PageTemplates.PageTemplateFile import PageTemplateFile
class MyProduct(Folder):

   implements(ITraversable)
   component.provideAdapter(
                traversing.adapters.DefaultTraversable,
                            (interface.Interface,),ITraversable)

   meta_type = "bla"
   page = PageTemplateFile('zpt/foo.pt', globals())

   def render_page(self):
        html = self.page(self.REQUEST) # ERROR!!


I don't understand how it works and I wish there was a way to apply
these settings from a function instead of having to copy and paste it
into every instance creating class.
