Another reason to stick with string.Template for now might be that string formatting with percent syntax is going away? After all, Python 3000 is only about a year away, in alpha anyway, with Python 2.6 containing a back port of many features. Unless the whole string module is going away that is, but Guido didn't say anything about that. Googling just now leads me to think it'll stick around, but become more unicode-savvy -- like the rest of the language.
