I have found TAL to be good for taking care of that. Templates, but you
are close to forced to move your code outside the templates. Most people
don't seem to like it much, but it makes me happy.  Most of Zope gets on
my nerves in one way or another, but TAL makes for better separation
than the majority of templating systems, and avoids the ugly of building
your html inside your code.
