[Twisted-web] On Flatteners and Adapters

[Pedro Sanchez]

The original version of my program registers Adapters and fails because 
of flatteners. Following your suggestion, here is a version registering 
flatteners instead. And it fails because of Adapters :|

twisted.python.components.CannotAdapt: <Menu object at 0xb77581ec> to 
<MetaInterface nevow.inevow.IRenderer>

I'd appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks,

-- 
Pedro
