The setup I've documented at http://www.zope.org/Members/mwr/ somewhat
fits your description -- I've just verified that it does work if I use
the normal virtual host namespace, or the literal
hostname:portnumber/folder/ namespace.

The first howto (python_zpt_sitemap) is my current setup, though I
have some emails from folks on things to be changed. The second howto
(python_zpt_sitemap_zen) has much better Python code, but I've not yet
finished the ZPT for that version. My suggestion for a quick fix would
be to use the second howto's code, change the last lines to return a
list of objects instead of a dictionary, and then use the ZPT from the
first howto.
