My first thought was that this is a job for string.Template, which has
always struck me as subclassing-friendly. Took about a half hour of
wrangling the regex to get here:
from string import Template, _sentinel_dict
class TemplateWithDefaults(Template):
braceidpattern = r'([_a-z][_a-z0-9]*))((:(?P<default>([^}]*)))?'
def substitute(self, mapping=_sentinel_dict, /, **kws):
if mapping is _sentinel_dict:
mapping = kws
elif kws:
mapping = _ChainMap(kws, mapping)
def convert(mo):
named = mo.group('named') or mo.group('braced')
if named is not None:
try:
return str(mapping[named])
except KeyError:
default = mo.group('default')
if not default:
raise
return default
if mo.group('escaped') is not None:
return self.delimiter
if mo.group('invalid') is not None:
self._invalid(mo)
raise ValueError('Unrecognized named group in pattern',
self.pattern)
return self.pattern.sub(convert, self.template)
template = TemplateWithDefaults('Where ${prep:was} my default? ${here}.')
options = {'prep':'is', 'here':'Nowhere'}
print(template.substitute(options))
print(template.substitute(here='Here'))
print(template.substitute()) # Should fail with key error on 'here'
