Question

In the code below, I want to read obj.subject and place it into var subject, also read obj.body and place it into body. First I want to read the kwargs variables and search for keywords within the string to replace, if none exists then move on.

How can I iterate through kwargs in Python?

for key in kwargs:
    subject = str(obj.subject).replace('[%s]' % upper(key), kwargs[key])

for key in kwargs:
    body = str(obj.body).replace('[%s]' % upper(key), kwargs[key])

return (subject, body, obj.is_html)

For Python 3 users:

You can iterate through kwargs with .items()

subject = obj.subject
body = obj.body
for key, value in kwargs.items():
    subject = subject.replace('[%s]' % key.toupper(), value)
    body = body.replace('[%s]' % key.toupper(), value)

return (subject, body, obj.is_html)

For Python 2 users:

You can iterate through kwargs with .iteritems():

subject = obj.subject
body = obj.body
for key, value in kwargs.iteritems():
    subject = subject.replace('[%s]' % key.toupper(), value)
    body = body.replace('[%s]' % key.toupper(), value)

return (subject, body, obj.is_html)
