Re: [Zope-dev] zc.buildout, substitution and templating
Shameless plug: try z3c.recipe.filetemplate.
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/z3c.recipe.filetemplate
. Sounds like it does what you want out of the box.

That's a good question. Buildout substitutions are always of the form
${section:option}, so conceivably buildout could ignore substitutions
without a colon. I suspect it would be better to always require
escaping and make sure buildout provides a documented way to do so.
OTOH, I can see the convenience of not requiring escaping variable
substitutions wo colons.

[Zope-dev] zc.buildout, substitution and templating
Hello,
These last days I was using collective.recipe.template and
gocept.recipe.env.
The second one just update options with os.environ.
Unix shell having their own substitution methods then '${' appearing in
the .installed.cfg. It just blows if you try to rerun 'bin/buildout.
As zc.buildout is using something near string.template I patched
gocept.recipe.env to replace '$' by '$$' and collective.recipe.template
to replace '$$' by '$'.
As _sub method in builout just split text around '$$' and join it again
with '$$' we need to make the replacement with the result of this method.
Is it the good way to deal with escaping data ?
Or is this a bug of zc.buildout ?
