That's pretty good. It seems to me there is a better way.
(1) The server scripts in Python generate XML. This is
pretty easy to do with xmlpickle. (2) Use an XML to HTML
filter to generate the HTML. Let the repitition of
values in XML guide the repitition of the relevant
sections of HTML. The advantage to this is that the
same server side scripts can be used to generate XML
(for downstream processing by another script) or HTML
(for presentation in browsers).

Does anyone know of any good XML to HTML filters for
this purpose?
