Blast!
I'm very sorry for wasting your time. the index_html was in fact a page 
template.
but that makes me wonder why templating does not incorporate such 
dynamical things.

ps.
unrelated Q:
there seems to be no DB2 product but I have found a working driver for 
straight python - is there some easily digested example of 
programmatically setting up a session wide db connection ie. that 
persists over invocation of a series of external methods which end in 
committing the transaction?
