Generating HTML documents in python

Question

In python, what is the most elegant way to generate HTML documents. I currently manually append all of the tags to a giant string, and write that to a file. Is there a mor

There is also a nice, modern alternative: airium: https://pypi.org/project/airium/

from airium import Airium

a = Airium()

a('')
with a.html(lang="pl"):
    with a.head():
        a.meta(charset="utf-8")
        a.title(_t="Airium example")

    with a.body():
        with a.h3(id="id23409231", klass='main_header'):
            a("Hello World.")

html = str(a) # casting to string extracts the value

print(html)

Prints such a string:

  
    
    
  
  
    

      Hello World.
    
  

The greatest advantage of airium is - it has also a reverse translator, that builds python code out of html string. If you wonder how to implement given html snippet - the translator gives you the answer right away.

E.g. its tests contain example pages translated automatically with airium: https://gitlab.com/kamichal/airium/-/tree/master/tests/documents
