Example for using this library, some attribute will be renamed for the list of it you can see ALTERNATE_MAP (because some has been taken as python keyword)

from simpletag import SimpleTag as T

rows = []
for x in range(10):
    rows.append(T.tr(
                    T.td('Col1'),
                    T.td('Col2')
                    ,scope='row'
                ))

tbody = T.tbody(*rows)
table = T.table(tbody, klass='table table-striped', style='margin-elft: 1;')
print(table)
