Serhiy Storchaka added the comment:
Agree with Barry. And please note, that string.Template is not invented in
Python, it is used in a lot of other languages, including shell, make, Tcl,
Perl. One of the advantage is that these templates are cross-language.

Barry A. Warsaw added the comment:
So yeah, we don't want to deprecate string.Template. It has a very specific
use case that's used a lot, i.e. making strings dead simple to translate.

This seems vestigial. I think it'd be
Serhiy Storchaka added the comment:
I'm strongly -1 for deprecating string.Template. It provides simple, widely
used syntax, and is used in a lot of third-party code. I don't think that it
needs to be extended.
However I have an idea about implementing general string composing engine than

That may be artifact from the days of ASCII strings and may or may not have
analog with the bytes data type.
But I'm not exactly sure string.Template should be in
Python 3 at all.
It still has
Dmitry Kazakov added the comment:
