Python Bottle server template returning ill formatted html code

So during the following bottle server route everything works fine...

@route('/IFC/config/<policy>')
def config(policy):
    if policy == "test":
        html_nodes = ""
        Nodes = IFC_main.get_nodes(ipaddr,username,password)
        for node in Nodes:
            html_nodes += '<li>'+node["name"]+'</li>'
        return template("mgmt.tpl",html_nodes = html_nodes)

except when I look at the source code for the webpage that this produces it should be a dropdown menu with the values I provided but instead I get this...

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="/static/mgmt.js">               </script>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/static/mgmt.css">

<body style = "background-color:#CCCCCA">
<img id="banner" style = "bg-color:CBCCCE" src="static/Cisco_emailHeader.png" alt="Banner Image"/>
<div style="width: 800px;height: 100px;position: absolute;top:0;bottom: 0;left: 0;right: 0;margin: auto;">
<h1>Management Connectivity</h1>
 <ul class="dropdown-menu">
 &lt;li&gt;calo2-leaf3&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;calo2- spine1&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;calo2-leaf2&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;calo2- leaf1&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;apic2&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;calo2- spine2&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;apic1&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;apic3&lt;/li&gt;
</ul>
</div>
</body>

I understand I need to convert the string I'm passing into the template but I just haven't been able to figure out what. I'm assuming someone else has ran into this issue.

You can start the statement with an exclamation mark to disable escaping for that statement:

>>> template('Hello {{name}}!', name='<b>World</b>')
u'Hello &lt;b&gt;World&lt;/b&gt;!'
>>> template('Hello {{!name}}!', name='<b>World</b>')
u'Hello <b>World</b>!'

You need to move the loop into template file,

% for node in nodes:
    <li>{{ node.name }}</li>
% end

The code will change to,

@route('/IFC/config/<policy>')
def config(policy):
    if policy == "test":
        nodes = IFC_main.get_nodes(ipaddr,username,password)
        return template("mgmt.tpl", nodes=nodes)
