What module should I use to help with generating HTML?

There are many different modules available:

HTMLgen is a class library of objects corresponding to all the HTML 3.2 markup tags. It’s used when you are writing in Python and wish to synthesize HTML pages for generating a web or for CGI forms, etc.
DocumentTemplate and Zope Page Templates are two different systems that are part of Zope.
Quixote’s PTL uses Python syntax to assemble strings of text.

Consult the Web Programming topic guide for links and more alternatives.

CATEGORY: library

Could need some updating: Cheetah, Kid, Stan, Ian's formencode stuff, Django templates, ...

Comment:

Could probably describe a few categories instead (e.g. standard templating plus cgi.escape and encode(xmlcharrefreplace), tools that build data structures and serialize them (stan, formencode, elementtree, etc), and full-fledged templating systems (cheetah, django's template system, quixote, etc).
