What templating system are you using?  Django's?

If you're using a CGI script, just use a normal python for loop and
print out the stuff you want using this kind of notation:

for x in xrange(4):
    print "<tr><td>{0}</td></tr>".format(x)


Another alternative is to make your own templating system.  Have it load
and parse the html file (maybe using one of the xml or html parsers),
and substitude some sort of field marker for data.  But that is
re-inventing the wheel.
