       req.content_type = 'text/html'

Using Graham's suggestion plus setting the content_type and changing 
QUOTES to QUOTE worked fine for me with your templates using mod_python 
3.2.1b and Firefox. I suggest try using the simplest possible template 
that works and build out from there to find the error.
