How does Python string format help me?  If I return a string from
Python the less-thans and greater-thans still get html escaped:

      <span tal:replace="python:'<'" />
      <span tal:define="global r record/name; id record/task_id;"
            tal:replace="string:option label='${r}' value='${id}'" />
      <span tal:replace="python:'>'" />
      <span tal:replace="string:${r}" />
      <span tal:replace="python:'<'" />
      <span tal:replace="string:/option" />
      <span tal:replace="python:'>'" />
