[Twisted-Python] Nevow and twisted.enterprise and deferreds

[Alexander May]

PS: And is there an easy way to nicely render the exception call stack as is
common through much of twisted?

Thanks again,
Alex

I could have sworn that I tried that last night, but I guess I didn't since
it works.  Thanks.

Is there a way to have a different render method called in the error case?
If not, I can always conditionally branch in the render method.

Add an errback to this Deferred that you're returning. 
d.addErrback(self._cbQueryError), and make that method return nevow data
that can be rendered.
