You're very close. The problem is that an expression like
$almanac.$planet.rise is evaluated when the template is *compiled* not run.
So, you need to defer evaluation of the attribute $planet. Try this (NOT
TESTED):
#set planets = ['Mercury', 'Venus', 'Mars']
#for planet in planets
<tr>
<td class="celestialTableObject">$planet</td>
<td class="celestialTableData">$getattr($almanac, $planet).rise</td>
<td class="celestialTableData">$getattr($almanac, $planet).transit</td>
<td class="celestialTableData">$getattr($almanac, $planet).set</td>
<td class="celestialTableData">$getattr($almanac, $planet).az</td>
<td class="celestialTableData">$getattr($almanac, $planet).alt</td>
<td class="celestialTableData">$getattr($almanac, $planet).ra</td>
<td class="celestialTableData">$getattr($almanac, $planet).dec</td>
<td class="celestialTableData">$getattr($almanac, $planet).mag</td>
</tr>
