I thought the original comment was about client side Python in HTML,
where there is no good substitute (assuming you want to use Python
on the client side.) On the server side, you can make arguements both
ways. If it's a few things that have to be generated into a large block
of
HTML, then embedding the scripting language makes sense. If it's a case
of major tailoring or generation, then all of the HTML should be
generated.

Just my opinion,
