building strings from variables

[MonkeeSage]

Ps. For readability you can also roll your own sprintf function:

def format(s, *args, **kwargs):
  if args:
    return s % args
  elif kwargs:
    return s % kwargs
  else:
    return s

s = 'I like %s and %s.'
print format(s, 'ham', 'cheese')

s = 'I like %(b)s and %(c)s.'
print format(s, b='butter', c='eggs')
