One nice thing about Python is triple-quotes and string
substitution make writing templates really simple
page = '''
<html><head>
<title>%(title)s</title>
</head><body>
<h1>%(title)s</h1>
The time is %(time)s.
</body></html>
'''
print page % { 'title': "Time of day",
'time': time.asctime() }
The HTML is all by itself with only the simplest Python in the middle of it. And the substitutions are named, not positional, so it's self-documenting. You can substitute the same text more than once. And if you want to be clever, you can use locals() in place of the hand-crafted dictionary to directly substitute Python symbols. |
