[Zope] metal: how to get a portlet to render in a plone page template

[hpinson at indepthl.com]

Hi.  This is a plone question, but i've not been able to find an 
answer on the Plone list so far:

I am trying to embed the  portlet news macro on Plones index_html top 
level page template.  This should render the news within the 
template, but does not:     

<h2>News Summary</h2>
<div metal:block metal:use-
macro="python:path('here/portlet_news/macros/portlet')" />
Summary of news items goes here.
</div>

Does anyone have a suggestion as to how to get this portlet to render 
in the page template?
