[techtalk] python re.sub help

[Tricia Bowen]

are there any python users out there? i have the following task that would
be so doable in perl unfortunately i have to do it in python.

var_a = "http://127.0.0.1/email/logout"
var_b = "http://www.lazygirl.com"
var_a = re.sub("http://127.0.0.1", var_b, var_a)

python will not let me us a var_b as a substitution string even if i do
var_a = re.sub("http://127.0.0.1", "%s", var_a) % var_b

does anyone know how to get around this?
