I corrected this by using something akin to string.Template. The new
code replaces patterns of the form {{name}} by the app_name constant.
This is much safer and easier to understand than using %s
substitutions as was done previously.
A typical example is:
s = ''' a long string'''
table = (
('{{icon}}',app_icon),
('{{license}}',app_license),
('{{name}}',app_name),
('{{target}}',target_file),
('{{version}}',app_version))
for pattern,val in table:
s = s.replace(pattern,val)
It would be difficult to use string.Template because the triple quoted
strings have a lot of dollar signs that don't correspond to top-level
python vars.
Except for a blank line, the new .nsi file is the same as the old, so
no errors have crept in.
