Yes? What about it? Do you have a question or do you expect us to read
your mind?
If the second, this is your lucky day, because in fact I am a powerful
psychic, and by reading your mind I can see that you are getting a
ValueError exception from the last line:
ValueError: unsupported format character ';' (0x3b) at index 24
By using another of my superpowers, called "reading the error message",
I can work out the nature of the problem: you have a format command "%;"
which isn't supported.
When using string interpolation with the % operator, it looks for %
formatting characters in the string. %s you already know. %d needs an
integer value, %f a float. And %; isn't supported at all -- it is an
error.
What you need to do is escape the percent sign, so it will be turned
into a percent sign in the output, not treated as a format command in
the input:
print(' <td style="width: 50%%; text-align: center;">%s</td>') %
(str(Stat['Vbatt']))
