You need to request a list of objects and display their
attributes.  Here's a (slightly hackoid) version of what
I often do.

    <!--#in med_list-->
        <!--#var name--> <!--#var dosage--> <!--#freq--><br>
    <!--#/in-->

    def med_list(self):
        """medication list"""
        class _Med:
            def __init__(self, name, dosage, freq):
                self.name = name
                self.dosage = dosage
                self.freq = freq
        medList = []
        for (n, d, f) in self.getMedicationsDosagesFrequencies():
            medList.append(_Med(n,d,f))
        return medList

While were on the subject, however, I was wondering if there
might be a convenient way to pass a list of dictionaries and
use its keys as attributes directly in an <!--#in--> block.
