Not sure what you mean here, but most people wouldn't write such code anyway.
You could easily split it up as
def format_record(record):
return "<P..." % (
record[...],
record[...])
link_records = GetEachRecord(
...
)
for record in link_records:
out.write(format_record(record))
Which reads much better IMHO.
