I'm not an idiot, I realize the issue is the semi-colon. What I'm saying is that its pretty crappy that you have to quote semicolons inside quotes when normal python code you don't have to. It's not hard to ignore them when in quotes. Doubling them in a 'string:' expression I can understand, but not a python expression.

The problem here isn't the quotes -- it is the semicolon.  All semicolons in a tal:attributes expression must be escaped by doubling, since single semicolons are used to separate attribute assignments.  The correct form is:

tal:attributes="style python:'position: absolute;; background: %s;; left: %s px;; top: %s px' % (10,10,10,10)"

If I have an expression such as 
<b tal:attributes="
   style python:'position: absolute; background: %s; left: %s px; top: %s px' % (10,10,10,10)">

The parser doesn't like it. It is reading the semicolon as the end of the expression even though it's in a quotes and giving an error that %s is an illegal variable.
