I'm starting to think that a converter between the two format mini-languages may be the way to go though.
fmt_braces is meant to provide a superset of the capabilites of fmt_percent, so a forward converter shouldn't be too hard. A reverse converter may have to punt with ValueError when it finds things that cannot be expressed in the fmt_percent mini language though.
I've done a first cut of a forward (% -> {}) converter: http://gist.github.com/200936 but I'm not sure there's a case for a converter in the reverse direction, if we're encouraging movement in one particular direction. Regards, Vinay Sajip
