PTL templates that generate HTML convert all string constants to the
htmltext type.  So, you should probably write

  interface[str("services")][0]

to force the string constant to be a regular Python string.

(Actually, it's converted to htmltext and then back to str.  So if
you're really concerned about efficiency, put this code in a regular
Python function.)
