string.Template.safe_substitute() with % type formatting?

[python at bdurham.com]

Python 2.6: Is there a programming technique or 3rd party
formatting module that supports string.Template.safe_substitute()
type string substituion with % type formatting rules for width,
decimals, justification, etc?

Or do I need to use a 3rd party template engine to get the best
of both worlds?

Thanks,
Malcolm
