[Python-Dev] string substitution fxn in a new module (was: Can we please have a better dict interpolation syntax?)

I have too much on my plate (spent too much on generator expressions lately :-).

I am bowing out of the variable substitution discussion after noting that putting it in a module would be a great start (like for sets).

This idea seemed to die for no apparent reason. Fred, Skip, and Barry all liked the idea of adding the string substitution code to a module (one idea for a name was textutils) and Guido obviously seems receptive to the idea. Do people feel like moving forward with a new module? -Brett
