I understand everything from this code:

def display_meta(request):
    values = request.META.items()
    values.sort()
    html = []
    for k, v in values:
        html.append('<tr><td>%s</td><td>%s</td></tr>' % (k, v))
    return HttpResponse('<table>%s</table>' % '\n'.join(html))

Except this line: ‘\n’.join(html)

So \n creates a new line for every table I assume.
But what does join(html) do?

    It basically puts a newline between every item in html.

    So if

    html = ['<!DOCTYPE html>', '<html>', '<body>', '<p>']

    that piece of code will create this string:

    """
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<p>
"""
