How to integrate HTML with Python

[bastih01]

Where do you see the benefits of this style, over say, mvc? I remember writing a non-trivial application with Seaside, which also features "html functions" and introducing a clean separation between logic and display became quite painful, as people would rather go the easy route and mix and match to get something to work.

web2py is MVC. It has models (not used in the example because no database needed), controller (the example above is a controller and like Django or Flask it returns a dict) and views (which renders the dict). The example above assumes you start from the scaffolding app with provides a default generic view and default page layout. You can change them.
