You can use a single print with a triple quoted string to simplify a 
bit.

I donlt think there is one in the standard library but there
is an HTML generator module (HTMLgen) in the Vaults of Parnassus.
It acts a bit like the CGI module in Perl if you are familiar with 
that.

There s a tutorial here:
