Ah de old Python O'Reilly book...

I probably would have done it something like:

bgcolor = "#222255"
fgcolor = "#ffffff"

htmlstr = "<html>" + "\n"
htmlstr += "<body bgcolor=%(bgcolor)s>" + "\n"
htmlstr += "<font color=%(fgcolor)s>Testing</font>"

print htmlstr % locals()
 
Hadn't thought of doing it with """s. Hardly ever use them.
Saves having to stick in the "\n" I guess but I quite like having things
in variables as so I can pass them around easily. Depends on the
circumstance I guess.

Mark

	Yes, received -- I'll check it out.

	As soon as I learn enough of python, I'll post something ;)
	I've been flipping through the O'Reilly book.

	The 'here document' stuff had me guessing for a while,
	but I think I've got it solved with:

bgcolor = "#222255"
fgcolor = "#ffffff"

print """
<html>
<body bgcolor=%(bgcolor)s>
<font color=%(fgcolor)s>Testing</font>
""" % locals()

	If there's a better way to embed variables in """'ed text,
	let me know.

	The """'s are useful when you have 100's lines of html,
	or in the case of rush, 100's of lines of GUI description text
	that's being piped to the rush 'input' program.

	python's """ syntax is similar to the csh/sh/perl/ruby 'here document'
	syntax which is usually of the form:

cat << EOF
   Lots of lines of stuff here..
   one two three
   four five six
EOF

	..that being a CSH example.

Saves having to stick in the "\n" I guess


	..and all the '"'s and '+'s ;)

but I quite like having things in variables as so I can pass them around easily.


	The """ syntax works with variables too, eg:

some_variable = """
   Lots of lines of stuff here..
   one two three
   four five six
"""

	That being the equivalent of:

some_variable = "\n" +
		"    Lots of lines of stuff here..\n" +
                "    one two three\n" +
                "    four five six\n" +
		"\n"
