I assume you in fact meant
return '${name} was born in ${country}'.sub()
for the third line above?

Have you considered the possibility of accepting keyword arguments
instead? They would be slightly more pleasant to write:
print s.sub(name='Guido', country='the Netherlands')
This is motivated because i imagine relative frequencies of use
to be something like this:
1. sub() [most frequent]
2. sub(name=value, ...) [nearly as frequent]
3. sub(dictionary) [least frequent]
If you decide to use keyword arguments, you can either allow both
keyword arguments and a single dictionary argument, or you can
just accept keyword arguments and people can pass in dictionaries
using **.
