Hi Franck, There is the standard module: http://docs.python.org/2/library/string.html#template-strings Or maybe if you need more power, something like jinja2. It's for Web (HTML documents), but it can also be used for any kind of document. http://jinja.pocoo.org/docs/ David -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
