Since you are using Python, I suggest using the string.Template class
for this purpose.

  The example on that 'man' page suggests the path to ultimate happiness,
using the Python shell:

from string import Template
s = Template('$who likes $what')
s.substitute(who='tim', what='kung pao')
'tim likes kung pao'

  I think what might work is writing the LaTeX template as a series of print
statements (writing to an output file with the .tex extension), and using
the Template class to replace each variable as needed, before printing that
line to the output file, too.

  I'll play with this. It looks promising.

Thanks, all,

Rich
