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.

What, like a NameError for height? :-)

Sorry, mwh
