And if you enjoy building insecure stuff, try:
def fix(text, globals_=None, locals=None, quote='"'):
d = (globals_ or locals or globals()).copy()
source = text.split(quote)
source[1::2] = (str(eval(expr, d, locals or d))
for expr in source[1::2])
return ''.join(source)
amount = 1
cost = 2.0
what = 'potato'
print fix("""I'll have "amount" "what"s
for "'$%.2f' % cost"s please""", locals())
