[Web-SIG] html dom like javascript ?

[seth]

Is there a python library which is analogous to javascript for creating 
html/xhtml documents? e.g.:

         hidden = document.createElement("input")
         hidden.setAttribute("type", "hidden")
         hidden.setAttribute("name", "active_flag_hidden_" + ctl)
         if( dirtyArray[ctl].checked == true) {
            hidden.setAttribute("value", 'N')
                 } else {
            hidden.setAttribute("value", 'Y')
         }
         document.forms['listForm'].appendChild(hidden)
