Less of a DOM but maybe what you are looking for is HyperText
http://dustman.net/andy/python/HyperText/

It is used like
  from HTML import *
  A(IMG(border = 0, src = 'images/off.gif'), href = 'off.html')

Fairly simple, I don't do anything complicated w/ HTML so I like it.
It also throws a fit if attributes aren't in the HTML4.0 spec (which most
of the time means you made a typo).
