CherryPy variables in html

I have a cherryPy program that returns a page that has an image (graph) in a table. I would also like to have variables in the table that describe the graph. I am not using templates, just trying to keep them very simple. In the example below, I have the variable numberofapplicants where I want, but it does not output the value of the variable in the table. I have not been able to find examples on how to do this. Thanks for your help Vincent

 return '''
    <html>
    <body>
    <table width="400" border="1">
    <tr>
    <td>numberofapplicants</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td width="400" height="400"><img src="img/atest.png" width="400" height="400" /></td>
    </tr>
    </table>
    </body>
    </html>
    '''

Assuming you are using Python 2.x, just use standard string formatting.



return '''
    <html>
    <body>
    <table width="400" border="1">
    <tr>
    <td>%(numberofapplicants)s</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td width="400" height="400"><img src="img/atest.png" width="400" height="400" /></td>
    </tr>
    </table>
    </body>
    </html>
    ''' % {"numberofapplicants": numberofapplicants}
+2

Your 'numberofapplicants' variable just looks like the rest of the line to Python. If you want to put 'numberofapplicants' in this place use % syntax like



 return '''big long string of stuff...
           and on...
           <td>%i</td>
           and done.''' % numberofapplicants
+2
