Installing ShellExample causes Announcer to break

[anonymous]

When ShellExample is added to my Trac, I then get announver errors like this;

2012-03-12 17:17:57,519 Trac[api] ERROR: AnnouncementSystem failed.

Removing the ShellExample plugin allows announcer to work as before.

get_templates_dirs needs to return an empty list, but it is returning None. I'll apply the (presumed) fix. I hope that is okay.

(In [11485]) Fixes #9900: get_templates_dirs needs to return an empty list, but it was returning None. This should fix a reported instance of the AnnouncerPlugin throwing an error.
