What module should I use to help with generating HTML?

There are many different modules available:

  • HTMLgen is a class library of objects corresponding to all the HTML 3.2 markup tags. It’s used when you are writing in Python and wish to synthesize HTML pages for generating a web or for CGI forms, etc.
  • DocumentTemplate and Zope Page Templates are two different systems that are part of Zope.
  • Quixote’s PTL uses Python syntax to assemble strings of text.

Consult the Web Programming topic guide for links and more alternatives.

Could need some updating: Cheetah, Kid, Stan, Ian's formencode stuff, Django templates, ...

Comment:

Could probably describe a few categories instead (e.g. standard templating plus cgi.escape and encode(xmlcharrefreplace), tools that build data structures and serialize them (stan, formencode, elementtree, etc), and full-fledged templating systems (cheetah, django's template system, quixote, etc).
