One thing the PEP doesn't make clear: do these templates only interpolate string variables, or will they handle anything with a str method?

e.g., will the following raise an exception: print Template("I am ${height} centimetres tall.") % {height: 183}

In the current implementation, this will raise an exception. I'm uncomfortable with automatic stringification (hey, create your own dict subclass for the mapping if you want ;) -- but I've included this as an open issue in the next rev of the PEP.
