I'm sure you know that the idea of using code in templates is controversial anyway. But I do like it, and Mako, imo, solves the issue with Python very well.

    % for row in rows:
        * Here is a row: ${row}
    % endfor

That's kind of 'hackish', but not bad at all if you ask me.

Compared to an ERB snippet it is about the same (though you'd probably use each and a block here in Ruby.

   <% for row in row %>
      * <%= row %>
   <% end %>
