return str(s)*num    # Not print.


Anything the function prints gets sent to standard output separately; 
it's not part of the template.  The template is not output until it's 
entirely filled, hence it comes afterward.

If you look in a .py template module, you'll see that templates and #def 
methods collect the output in a StringIO and then return it.
