In a simple case you can use string formatting. Put a placeholder into the string and use format() to substitute the placeholder with the actual text:

html = """
<body>
<div>
{text}
</div>
</body>
"""

print html.format(text='Hi i am inside of a div')

In case of complex HTML structures, you can make use of template languages, like jinja2. You would basically have an html template which you would render with the context provided:

import jinja2

env = jinja2.Environment(loader=jinja2.FileSystemLoader('.'))
template = env.get_template('index.html')
print template.render(text='Hi i am inside of a div')

where index.html contains:

<body>
    <div>
    {{ text }}
    </div>
</body>
