I like this code: straightforward and pragmatic. Everyone else seems
to be reinventing itertools.cycle - they should have listened to
Carsten, and written something like this:
import itertools
clvalues = itertools.cycle(['Even', 'Odd'])
for clvalue, (id, name) in itertools.izip(clvalues, result):
stringBuffer.write('''
<tr class="%(name)s">
<td>%(id)d</td>
<td>%(clvalue)s</td>
</tr>''' % locals())
