Question

Ok.. I am a noob to Python but work with PHP a lot.

Basically I am trying to figure out how to take an object — for example:

{key:value,key:value}

or

{key:[value,value,value],key2:value2}

and turn them into forms:

<input name="key" value="value">
<input name="key" value="value">

and

<input name="key[]" value="value">
<input name="key[]" value="value">
<input name="key[]" value="value">
<input name="key2" value="value2">

Answer 1

You can have a template with the structure of the html.
Then you can replace #key# and #value# for the real values.

template = '<input name="#key#" value="#value#">'
html = template
data = {key:value,key:value}
for key in data.keys():
    html = html.replace("#key#", key).replace("#value#", data[value]) + "\n"
    html = html + template
#there's an extra template line here that you'll have to get rid of.
html = "\n".join(html.split("\n")[0:-1])

Something similar for your second example.
