pyreport

Any thoughts on supporting string interpolation/variable expansion

Asked by Bill Eaton

It would be nice to be able to programmatically inject strings into a title, heading, or even text of a report.

I suppose I should look at the code that handles processing comments. Maybe there's a crude way I could hack up a prototype.

The way I usual achieve similar effects is by printing the values I am
interested in, but that does really do what you're after.

I am pretty tied up with other commitments. I am having a hard time
finding to add features to pyreport. On the other hand, I can only
encourage you to have a look and see how you can pitch in. The codebase
is not that complex, and I will accept any good patch.

Best,

Gaël
