It already works!


from macropy.string_interp import macros, s
A = 10
B = 5
print s["{A} + {B} = {A + B}"]
# 10 + 5 = 15


a, b = 1, 2
print s["{a} apple and {b} bananas"]
# 1 apple and 2 bananas

PHP programmers would love it. Subsequent maintainers would hate it.

It's way too magical for my liking.
