"/var/www/" does not make sense as the first argument to putChild().  Someone would have to request "%2fvar%2fwww%2f" to get anything at that location.  Also, you cannot pass the same path to putChild() twice and expect both resources to figure out what to do.  Fortunately, you do not appear to need two resources.  I think you are looking for something like this:

  root = static.File(PATH)
  root.processors = {'.pt': PTResource, '.rst': RSTResource}
  root.indexNames = ['index.rst', 'index.pt']
  reactor.listenTCP(80, server.Site(root))
  reactor.run()
