    for feed in YahooContent.entries:

        print feed.title
        print feed.link + "\n"
   return

def html():

According to the documentation:

A view function, or view for short, is simply a Python function that takes a Web request and returns a Web response.

In other words, your function(s) should accept a request argument:

def html(request):
    html = "<html><body> %s </body></html>" % news()
    return HttpResponse(html)
