You could try version 2.13 of XIST (http://www.livinglogic.de/Python/xist) Code looks like this: from ll.xist.ns import html, specials text = "Number 1 ... the <b>larch</b>" e = html.div( html.h1("And now for something completely different"), html.p(specials.literal(text)) ) print e.asBytes() This prints: <div><h1>And now for something completely different</h1><p>Number 1 ... the <b>larch</b></p></div> I hope this is what you need.
