Hi there. 

Best is you learn a templating tool (mako, jinja). I started rendering html 
in cherrypy at the beginning by doing the following:

import cherrypy

class app():

    @cherrypy.expose
    def index(self):
        number = 20.3
        string = 'hello world!'

        return """
        <!DOCTYPE html>
        <html>
          <head>
            <meta charset="utf-8">
            <title></title>
          </head>
          <body>
            <h1>this is a number: %d</h1>
            <h1>this is a string: %s</h1>
          </body>
        </html>
        """ % (number, string)

cherrypy.quickstart(app(), "/")

*but i do not recommend it for larger applications. *
