Hi,
Does anyone know where I can find any decent dynamically-constructed
HTML control classes (dropdown list, table, input field, checkbox, etc.)
written in Python. For example, for a HTML table I would like something
like...
MyTable =tml_table() # instantiate class
MyTable.data =ata_list # data-list (eg. cursor from SQL SELECT
statement)
MyTable.border =
MyTable.width =87
MyTable.column_headers =ol_headers # list or tuple of column-headers
table_code =yTable.table.create() # returns string
containing appropriate HTML code
I don't mind writing my own classes (it will be good practice for me),
but I don't want to re-invent the wheel if it can be avoided.
TIA,

Hi,
There are a few modules to generate HTML from Python : there is a list
at http://wiki.python.org/moin/Templating, section HTML Generation
packages
With HTMLTags, your example would be coded like this :
from HTMLTags import *
table =ABLE(border=1,width~7)
table <=R(Sum([TD(header) for header in col_headers]))
for result in data_list:
table <=R(Sum([TD(value) for value in result]))
print table
The operator <=eans "add child" in the DOM tree structure, it avoids
having to nest tags with brackets

Thanks Pierre. I can see this module being very useful. I have
downloaded the code from the Activestate site (is that the latest
version?) and will try it out as soon as possible.
Is HTMLTags Python3 compatible? (I am using 3.1).
