OK, Now I understand.

But a "web page" is by definition html.
Thats what makes it a web page.
Most browsers can display plain text too but they will usually
mess up the formatting so that it is hard to read. If you want
to do that then just create a normal text file.
But if you want the browser4 to display it with any kind of
formatting you must use html, thats all the browser understands.

The reasons for writing the html from Python are that you
can insert dynamic content into the html, such as names
or values from a database, or from another file:
#####################
contentStart = """"
<html><body>
<p>Here are the current members of my club:</p>
"""
contentEnd = """
</body.</html>"""
data = ["Eric Idle", "Michael Palin", "Graham Chapman"]
with open("mywebpage.htm","w") as webpage:
webpage.write(contentStart)
webpage.write("<ul>\n")
for name in data:
webpage.write("<li>%s</li>" % name)
webpage.write("</ul>\n")
webpage.write(contentEnd)
#######################
Now you can regenerate the web file by just adding names to data.
(and you could populate data from a text file or database etc)
But if you want that to display sensibly in a web browser you
need to use html.
