If you can specify the format of the template file, use Python syntax.
For example:

# file: mytemplate.py
t = '''\
-----------------------
Variable = %(company)s
-----------------------
'''

# file: mymain.py
import mytemplate
company = 'CoCo'
f = open('myoutput', 'w')
f.write(mytemplate.t % locals())
f.close()
