假如有個任務： 給定一個字符串，通過查詢字典，來替換給定字符中的變量。如果使用通常的方法：

>>> "This is a %(var)s" % {"var":"dog"}'This is a dog'>>>

其實可以使用string.Template類來實現上面的替換

>>> from string import Template>>> words = Template("This is $var")>>> print(words.substitute({"var": "dog"})) # 通過字典的方式來傳參This is dog>>> print(words.substitute(var="dog"))   # 通過關鍵字方式來傳參This is dog>>>

在創建Template實例時，在字符串格式中，可以使用兩個美元符來代替$，還可以用${}將 變量擴起來，這樣的話，變量后面還可以接其他字符或數字，這個使用方式很像Shell或者Perl里面的語言。下面以letter模板來示例一下:

>>> from string import Template>>> letter = """Dear $customer,... I hope you are having a great time!... If you do not find Room $room to your satisfaction, let us know.... Please accept this $$5 coupon....     Sincerely,...     $manager,...     ${name}Inn""">>> template = Template(letter)>>> letter_dict = {"name": "Sleepy", "customer": "Fred Smith", "manager": "Tom Smith", "room": 308}>>> print(template.substitute(letter_dict))Dear Fred Smith,I hope you are having a great time!If you do not find Room 308 to your satisfaction, let us know.Please accept this $5 coupon.    Sincerely,    Tom Smith,    SleepyInn>>>

有時候，為了給substitute準備一個字典做參數，最簡單的方法是設定一些本地變量，然后將這些變量交給local()(此函數創建一個字典，字典中的key就是本地變量，本地變量的值通過key來訪問)。

>>> locals()   # 剛進入時，沒有其他變量{'__builtins__': <module '__builtin__' (built-in)>, '__name__': '__main__', '__doc__': None, '__package__': None}>>> name = "Alice" # 創建本地變量name >>> age = 18   # 創建本地變量age>>> locals()   # 再執行locals()函數就可以看到name, age的鍵值隊{'name': 'Alice', '__builtins__': <module '__builtin__' (built-in)>, 'age': 18, '__package__': None, '__name__': '__mai__', '__doc__': None}>>> locals()["name"] # 通過鍵name來獲取值'Alice'>>> locals()["age"] # 通過鍵age來獲取值18>>>

有了上面的例子打底來看一個示例：

>>> from string import Template>>> msg = Template("The square of $number is $square")>>> for number in range(10):...  square = number * number...  print msg.substitute(locals())...The square of 0 is 0The square of 1 is 1The square of 2 is 4The square of 3 is 9

另外一種方法是使用關鍵字參數語法而非字典，直接將值傳遞給substitute。
