I have found a XML-Sitemaps Generator at http://www.xml-sitemaps.com,
this page allows you to create the XML files that can be uploaded to google.
But as stated I don't actually want what people now call 'sitemaps' I want a
automatically updated 'index / contents page' to my website. For example, if
I add a tutorial or update any of my links I want the 'global contents page'
to be updated when the python script is run.

What you're looking at may be closer to autogenerated documentation
than to a classic site map. There are a variety of tools that generate
HTML pages on the basis of *certain information found in* all the
files in a directory (as opposed to the entire content of those
files). What you're trying to do may be sufficiently specific that it
doesn't already exist, but it might be worth having a quick look at
autodoc/doxygen - at least for some ideas.

Chris,

You assessment is correct. Working through the PyPI I am having better luck with using different terms than the old-term 'sitemap'.

I have found a link to funnelweb which uses the transmogrify library (yeah, as if I would have typed this term into google!) that is described as "Crawl and parse static sites and import to Plone".

http://pypi.python.org/pypi/funnelweb/1.0

As funnelweb is modular, using a variety of the transmogrify tools, maybe I could modify this to create a 'non-plone' version.
