To solve this I normally just make the entire ASP page a Python script
(I don't use <%/%> blocks individually, but just bracket the whole
thing.

In most cases I still build up a string or list of strings for
eventual output, but then I just use a Response.write to send it at
the end.

Of course, the wish to separate presentation from logic is where many
of the auxiliary packages (Webware, Quixote and so on) can help out
for larger projects.
