The getPage function in twisted.web is suited for simple calls but
won't return returns. What you have to do is create your own slightly
modified version of getPage that keeps track of the factory used for
the call (by attaching it to the deferred or something).

Well, without seeing the complete code example that's failing I can't
really tell you. The best I can say is that you should make sure to
attach errBacks that log any errors you see (i.e. it could be as
simple as going 'print result.getTraceback()').

Cheers,
Reza
