Python and HTML table

Question

I'm using the code below to print out rows containing 4 columns. How would I append each value in the list to a HTML table that also contains rows with four columns?

   random_list = ['car', 'plane', 'van', 'boat', 'ship', 'jet','shuttle']
    for i in xrange(0, len(food_list), 4):
        print '\t'.join(food_list[i:i+4])

Answer 1

With some minor modification...

food_list = ['car', 'plane', 'van', 'boat', 'ship', 'jet','shuttle']
for i in xrange(0, len(food_list), 4):
    print '<tr><td>' + '</td><td>'.join(food_list[i:i+4]) + '</td></tr>'

This basically changes the delimiter to not be tab, but the table elements. Also, puts the open row and close row at the beginning and end.

Answer 2

Slight variation on orangeoctopus' answer, using another join, rather than concatenation:

random_list = ['car', 'plane', 'van', 'boat', 'ship', 'jet','shuttle']
print "<table>"
for i in xrange(0, len(random_list), 4):
    print ''.join(['<tr><td>','</td><td>'.join(random_list[i:i+4]),'</td></tr>'])
print '</table>'
