quick and dirty solution:
bar = (
("Jane Mary","SIMPSON","0411231234","Dr I Feelgood","2006-12-27 15:00:00"),
("John","DOE","None","Dr I Feelgood","2006-12-27 15:30:00"),
("Frank","SPENCER","","Dr I Feelgood","2006-12-27 16:00:00")
)
spam ="FNAME", "SNAME", "PHONE", "DR","TIME"
for x in bar:
i=0
while i<5:
if x[i] != 'None':
print "<%s>%s</%s>" % (spam[i], x[i], spam[i])
else:
print "<%s></%s>" % (spam[i], spam[i])
i+=1
print
