And since this case involves a div and a button, to avoid having to repeat 
all that every time, just write a function that takes a message and a flash 
type and generates the appropriate helper object:

def flash(message, type='info'):
    return DIV(BUTTON(XML('×'), _type='button', _class='close', data=
dict(dismiss='alert')),
               message, class='alert alert-%s' % type)
