Or just do this (add error checking, of course):
<tr py:for="item in items">
<td><input type="text" name="product_${item.id}" value="${item.product"}></td>
[etc]
</tr>
Then in your controller:
def formHandler(invoiceId, **kwargs):
for item in Invoice.get(invoiceId).items:
item.product = kwargs['product_' + str(item.id)]
etc.
