It can often be a good idea to create an adapter/pattern for string 
substitutions. Then the wrapper can "massage" the dict values before 
they go into the string.

Here only a simple version is needed though (untested).

class Wrapper:

     def __getitem__(self, key):
          return locals().get(key, globals[key])


'Some string sub %(some_var)s' % Wrapper()
