This module contains the very simple API provided by uritemplate.

    :param str uri: The templated URI to expand
    :param dict var_dict: Optional dictionary with variables and values

    Example::

                  expand('https://{var}', {'var': 'val1'}, var='val2')

              ``val2`` will be used instead of ``val1``.
