[issue1748960] os.path.expandvars: expand string without modifying the environment

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray <rdmurray at bitdance.com> added the comment:

Python has had a way to do this since python 2.4:

>>> from string import Template
>>> fullPath =
Template("$ROOT/${SUBDIR/some/path").substitute(dict(ROOT='/users/geof',
SUBDIR='subdir'))
>>> fullPath
'/users/geof/subdir/some/path'
