Answer 1

Well there are several templating libraries around (Genshi is one I like but there are many others).

Alternatively you could do something like:

def print_table(data, row_length):
    print ''
    counter = 0
    for element in data:
        if counter % row_length == 0:
            print ''
        print '' % element
        counter += 1
        if counter % row_length == 0:
            print ''
    if counter % row_length != 0:
        for i in range(0, row_length - counter % row_length):
            print ''
        print ''
    print '
%s
