I have managed to do that by assigning "$" to a buildout variable,
something like

[section]
dollar = $
mystr = ${section:dollar}{foo:bar}

Not very nice but works. I can't find the exact example right now, so
maybe you'll have to fiddle with it, like escaping the dollar sign in
the variable, or putting it in quotes or something, but you get the idea.

I couldn't find it either. Anyone knows how to properly do this?
