[New-bugs-announce] [issue13173] Default values for string.Template

[Bfontaine]

New submission from Bfontaine <batifon at yahoo.fr>:

This patch allows you to define default values for a string.Template, which is useful when you need to use a lot some values, but sometimes other values.

for example:

>>> from string import Template
>>> s = Template("${user} made me a ${flavor} cake.", default={"user":"Dennis"})
>>> s.substitute(flavor="vanilla")
'Dennis made me a vanilla cake.'
>>> s.substitute(user="Ken", flavor="chocolate")
'Ken made me chocolate cake.'
