Re: [Python-Dev] PEP 292, Simpler String Substitutions
"Barry A. Warsaw"
I'm so behind on my email, that the anticipated flamefest will surely die down before I get around to reading it. Yet still, here is a new PEP. :)
[flamefest-fodder] Seems to me that the volume of comment might imply that string formatting isn't the one obvious best way to do it. Now the flamefest has died down somewhat, the only thing I can see PEP 292 justifying is better documentation for the string-formatting operator. "But then I'm an $pytpe".sub({"ptype": "old fogey"}) regards Steve ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Steve Holden http://www.holdenweb.com/ Python Web Programming http://pydish.holdenweb.com/pwp/ -----------------------------------------------------------------------
