Just generating html code is simple, but it does become a bit messy over
time.

Check out that link in my previous e-mail to a list of python templating
engines.  Choose one and try it.  No I cannot provide any example code.
 I haven't used any of these systems; I'm just googling for you.  Most
of them come with examples anyway.

Check out, among others:
http://www.cheetahtemplate.org/docs/users_guide_html/
And actually this one uses cheetah to do static pages (not a full-blown
web app):

I do recommend you at least take a look at Django.  It may be overkill
for your needs.  It does contain a templating engine, but it also
contains a whole lot more useful things for doing web-based applications.

Here's the link in case you missed it:
