All right. I'm assuming that the following snippet of code is
responsible for that behavior:

              elif types[x][0:3] == 'set':
                for f in field:
                  print '<td>%s</td>\n' % (field)

(It's on lines 134-136 of your script if I copied and pasted it from
your previous email correctly.)

In that branch of code, <<field>> is the name of a Set object. You're
iterating over all the elements in that set, giving the name <<f>> to
the individual elements, but then you don't do anything with <<f>>.
Instead, you're printing <<field>>! Printing <<f>> instead would seem to
be a step in the right direction, but I'll readily admit that I didn't
study your code hard enough to determine whether that's the complete
solution.
