How about this?
>>> data = """ <inst dn="root/child">
... <card name=%(cardName)s descr="testingAgain"> """
>>>
>>> print data
<inst dn="root/child">
<card name=%(cardName)s descr="testingAgain">
>>> print data % {'cardName':'actualCardName'}
<inst dn="root/child">
<card name=actualCardName descr="testingAgain">
