Although the 'collect in a list, join at leisure' plan often is best,
don't forget StringIO.  This situation is tailor-made for StringIO.

     from cStringIO import StringIO

     dest = StringIO()
     for name in contextForm.keys():
         print >>dest, 'Input:', name, 'value:', contextForm[name].value,
         print >>dest, '<BR>'
     whatever = dest.getvalue()
