that's too easy, of course ;-)
especially since someone has already added such a method, a
long time ago (os.path.expandvars).
and there's already an interpolation engine in there; barry's loop,
join and format stuff can replaced with a simple callback, and a
call to sre.sub with the right pattern:
def sub(string, mapping):
def repl(m, mapping=3Dmapping):
return mapping[m.group(m.lastindex)]
return sre.sub(A_PATTERN, repl, string)
(if you like lambdas, you can turn this into a one-liner)
maybe it would be sufficient to add a number of "right patterns"
to the standard library...
