sure you can! however you have to use a web templating system, and there are many in Python (Mako, Genshi, Myghty, Kid, Cheetah, Jinja, Django templates, etc.). some examples here: Mako: http://www.makotemplates.org/docs/syntax.html#python-blocks Genshi: http://genshi.edgewall.org/wiki/Documentation/templates.html Myghty: http://www.myghty.org/docs/embedding.html it is not built-in to the language because Python is more general-purpose, so you have to import those packages to use them. hope this helps! -- wesley - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - "Core Python Programming", Prentice Hall, (c)2007,2001 "Python Fundamentals", Prentice Hall, (c)2009 http://corepython.com wesley.j.chun :: wescpy-at-gmail.com python training and technical consulting cyberweb.consulting : silicon valley, ca http://cyberwebconsulting.com _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
