interpolate

interpolate(prompt, *, variables=None, variable_start='{{', variable_end='}}')

Interpolate variables into a prompt

This is a light-weight wrapper around the Jinja2 templating engine, making it easier to interpolate dynamic data into a prompt template. Compared to f-strings, which expects you to wrap dynamic values in { }, this function expects {{ }} instead, making it easier to include Python code and JSON in your prompt.

variable_start	str	The string that marks the beginning of a variable.	'{{'
variable_end	str	The string that marks the end of a variable.	'}}'
