i like the idea of having a __html__ __str__-like function a lot, especially
for string/html representation of database objects. is this something that
would be compatible with django's design principles?
for implementation, here's a suggestion of which i'm not sure if it works:
one could define __str__ functions like
def __str__(self, contenttype='text/plain')
using different output if specified or raising an exception for unknown content
types. can be easily extended to serve text/javascript or other potential
representations.
just another thought on that issue: is something like
>>> red=ColourObject('red','#FF0000')
>>> s=ContentString('<html><body><h1>%s</h1></body></html>','text/html')
>>> print s%red
<html><body><h1><span style="color:#FF0000">red</span></html></body></html>
>>> print "spam is %s."%red
spam is red.
>>> print ContentString(red,'text/css')
color:#FF0000;
make sense?

ps if there is a mime type object in django, this could of course replace the
strings
