Look at this:

===> python
Python 2.3.4 (#1, Feb  7 2005, 15:50:45) 
[GCC 3.3.4 (pre 3.3.5 20040809)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> "a%qb%sc"
'a%qb%sc'
>>> "a%qb%sc" % (1)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
ValueError: unsupported format character 'q' (0x71) at index 2

If you don't have a '% (...)' behind the string, all percent signs are
ignored. But if you use it, %q will bring you an error because only %s, %d, ...
is supported.

If you create html, here the way I do it:

rows=[]
for i in range(...).
    rows.append("....")
rows=''.join(rows)

date=time.strftime()
html="""
 Today: %(date)s
 <table>
 %(rows)s
 </table>
 ....""" % locals()

outfile="out.html"
fd=open(outfile, "wt")
fd.write(html)
fd.close()
print "Created %s" % outfile

HTH,
 Thomas
