found a different way

import string
cmplxstr="""a simple $string a longer $string a $last line"""
nst=string.Template(cmplxstr)

identifiers = {}

while True:
     try:
         result = nst.substitute(identifiers)
     except KeyError, error:
         print error
         identifiers[error[0]] = "x"
     else:
         break
print "loop done"

  ------
at the end I only care about the keys in identifier which I fill in 
after user interaction.
