Thanks for the rapid reply.  I am familiar with a number of these and 
have searched the web documentation but for the most part these appear 
to be parsers or things like:

http://www.acooke.org/andrew/writing/python-xml.html#code

That are xml centric and not html related.   I'm looking for something 
that is more html specific that contains all the options for any html 
widtget, like a form element with all of its options like style, css, 
and so forth.  In other words I dont want to have to write my own xml 
file with all the html tags and options.
