How to Use Template Strings for Substitution in Python
This code shows how to use Python's Template class for safe string substitution, replacing placeholders like $name with actual values.
from string import Template
def format_user_message(name, role, company):
template = Template("Hello $name! We are glad to have you as our $role at $company.")
return template.substitute(name=name, role=role, company=company)
if __name__ == "__main__":
result = format_user_message("Alice", "Python Develo…Bulk Rename Files in Python with Regex Replacement
Renames every file in a directory by applying a regex substitution to its filename using Python's stdlib re and pathlib.
import re
from pathlib import Path
def bulk_rename_regex(directory, pattern, replacement):
path = Path(directory)
renamed = []
for file in path.iterdir():
if file.is_file():
new_name = re.sub(pattern, replacement, file.name)
if new_name != file.name:

"""Update version in pyproject.toml using regex."""
path = Path(pyproject_path)
content = path.read_text()
