Actually there are yet a few twists to put on this.

# renaming the append method makes it a bit easier on the eye.

htmlPage=[]
a = htmlPage.append # ah dynamic languages

a("<html><header></header><body>")
a("more html")
....
a("more html")
....
a("<\body><\html>")
htmlDoc="\n".join(htmlPage)

# using cStringIO should be the fastest approach

import cStringIO
io = cStringIO()
a = io.write

a("<html><header></header><body>\n")
a("more html\n")
....
a("more html\n")
....
a("<\body><\html>\n")
htmlDoc = io.getvalue()
io.close()
