You can’t use ‘tidy’ python binding with App Engine as far as I know so use this for cleaning up your xml and html characters:

import cgi string = str('I hate monkey & hyena characters') cgi.escape(string)

Should print out:

If you want to change the content type or mime type for your Google App Engine template:

self.response.headers['Content-Type'] = "application/xml"

Full example:

class MainPage(webapp.RequestHandler): def get(self): greetings_query = databasemodel.all()

template_values = { 'greetings': greetings_query } self.response.headers['Content-Type'] = "application/xml" path = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), 'templates/index.xml') self.response.out.write(template.render(path, template_values))
