I don't know wxPython, but generating HTML is very easy.

Some people say mixing HTML and programming code is not good.

But if you want to create dynamic pages with more logic than HTML
this is the best solution.

Example: Multiplication Table

rows=[]
heading=[]
for i in range(1, 11):
    heading.append('<th bgcolor="grey">%s</th>' % i)
    cols=[]
    for j in range(1, 11):
        cols.append('<td align="right">%s</td>' % (i*j))
    row='<tr><th bgcolor="grey">%s</th>%s</tr>' % (i, ''.join(cols))
    rows.append(row)
html="""
 <html>
  <head><title>Multiplication Table</title></head>
  <body>
   <table border="1">
    <tr>
     <th> </th> %s
    </tr>
    %s
   </table> 
  </body>
 </html> """ % (''.join(heading), ''.join(rows))

I guess this looks more ugly in most template languages.
