This seems out of place in a page template to me.  My impression of the 
'correct' way to use page templates was only to present data acquired from 
lower layers, and leave the function calls that are used as procedures (ie 
not using the return value as part of the presentation of the page) to Python 
scripts.

Perhaps that's incorrect, or just unnecessarily purist.  Still, it doesn't 
seem to me like the kind of thing that ought to be in a page template.

What do you think?
