Re: [Python-Dev] Binary Operator for New-Style String Formatting

For better or for worse, I have created a patch against the py3k trunk which introduces a binary operator '@' as an alternative syntax for the new string formatting system introduced by PEP 3101 ("Advanced String Formatting"). [1]

I'd like to join everybody else who said that this would be a change for the worse. This kind of syntax is one of the most prominent features of Perl. $@~ly/your/s!, Martin
