You'll probably want

import sys
import string
sys.out.write (string.replace(DataFromDatabase, "\n", "<br>"))

or for Python 2.x

import sys
sys.out.write (DataFromDatabase.replace ("\n", "<br>"))


Seeing the result of an expression without print works only at the 
interactivew prompt:
 >>> string.replace ("abc\nde", '\n', '<br>')
'abc<br>de'
 >>> print string.replace ("abc\nde", '\n', '<br>')
abc<br>de
