Why can't you instead do something like this:
tablerows = []
for i in something:
tablerows.append(TR(...))
tbody = TBODY(tablerows)
> htmltablehead=XML(THEAD(TR(TH('Column 1'),TH('links'),TH('column 3'))))
> htmltablebody=XML(TBODY(XML(htmlrows)))
> htmltable=XML(TABLE(XML(htmltablehead),XML(htmltablebody),_class="pure-table
> pure-table-bordered"))
>
Note, when you have actual HTML helper objects (e.g., your THEAD object),
there is no need to wrap them in XML() before passing them to other helper
objects.
Also, if for some reason you feel you really need to build the rows as raw
HTML markup, then there isn't really much point in using the TBODY and
TABLE helpers anyway -- they're each just a single HTML tag, which you
might as well just write in raw HTML yourself.
