Another example using web.py (http://webpy.org):

(Only tested with web.py's standalone server)

import web
import sys
from myutils.htmlbuilder import HtmlBuilder, HtmlWriter, HtmlPage

urls = (
    '/(.*)', 'hello'
)

class hello(HtmlPage):

    def __init__(self):
        HtmlPage.__init__(self, 'Welcome Page')
        self.div.h3('Hello ').template('USER').literal('!!')

    def GET(self, name=None):
        if not name:
            name = 'World'
        self.fill( [ {'USER': name} ] )
        writer = HtmlWriter( sys.stdout )
        self.write( writer )
        

if __name__ == "__main__":
    web.run(urls)
