Assuming you want them in order of the key field:

from string import *

x={'f1':1,'f2':2,'f3':3}
y = [ (a,x[a]) for a in x.keys() ]
y.sort( cmp=lambda a,b: cmp(a[0],b[0]) )
table = ( "<table>\n" +
          "\n".join(["<tr>\n" +
                     "\n".join(["<td>{}</td>".format(z[i]) for z in y]) +
                     "\n</tr>" for i in range(len(y[0]))]) +
          "\n</table>" )
print table
