Not sure what you're expecting to have happen here...

the statement:

print '<div class="footer"
   metal:use-macro="here/footer/macros/portal_footer">Footer</div>'

...is not going to invoke the ZPT parser, compiler or renderer.

Why are you trying to assemble stuff like this in a python script?

I'd turn your python script into a ZPT and just do the substitutions there as 
normal...

cheers,

Chris
