Bug in https://docs.python.org/3.10/library/string.html
One of the examples of string formatting doesn't work. This applies to prior versions of Python as well. The last set of the examples headed: 'Nesting arguments and more complex examples:' starts with the following code:
for align, text in zip('<^>', ['left', 'center', 'right']):... '{0:{fill}{align}16}'.format(text, fill=align, align=align)...
This omits print()The correct code would be:
for align, text in zip('<^>', ['left', 'center', 'right']):... print('{0:{fill}{align}16}'.format(text, fill=align, align=align))...
