Here's what I do in this case:
g.links = [("/home", "home"), ("/who", "Who we are"), ("/test", "Test?")
% for url, label in g.links:
<a href="${url}">${label}</a>
% endfor
I also have a h.link(label, *url_for_args, **url_for_kw) that does a
combination of h.url_for and h.link_to. This is useful to prevent
overly long template expressions.
