Use templates to modularize your output, research {% extends %} {%
block %} and {{ block.super }}. The block.super trick will enable
DRYness.

Use import to modularize your code, research 'from foo import bar as
_baz'. The leading underscore trick will keep library namespaces
clean (not a typical use case but when namespace polution is an issue
a leading underscore is the solution).
