To my knowledge there is no support for the inverse operation, which is what Joe asked about. Given a string and a format string assign the elements of the string which correspond to the template elements to key/value pairs in a dictionary.
??? can you elaborate? I don't see the problem. "%(foo)s" % mapping just calls get("foo") on mapping so if you have a dictionary with all possible values it just works. If you want to do some fancy stuff just subclass and change the method call appropriately. Regards Tino
