Can Python be embedded in HTML like PHP and JSP?

Question

Is there a way of writing Python embedded in HTML like I do with PHP or JSP?

You can with mod_python; but mod_wsgi + Django is a better way to go. — belteshazzar

Use a template engine, such as:

The python wiki also has an article on this topic, with many more suggestions.

I looked through cog and saw that it is mostly applicable to C++. How would you implement it in HTML???

There is... But you're highly suggested to use a templating engine, or some other means of separating the presentation from the business layer.

There are some available that use python as the templating language, but it's nasty because python is sensitive to whitespace, so special syntax hacks have to be added.

Several templating engines support this in one way or another: Mako, Jinja, and Genshi are all popular choices.

Different engines support different features of Python and may be better suited to your needs. Your best bet is to try them out and see what works.

Use Cheetah or another templating engine.
