Nah, format just takes getting used to, like anything else would. And you don't need to use half the language; Python comes with enough builtin attributes on strings. anatoly techtonik <techtonik@gmail.com> wrote:

Why not use string's .format?
Good question. I'd say format language is too complicated. It is the same cryptic printf-like char-micromanagement language syntax, where every byte counts even if unreadable. I don't know why it was introduced. Perhaps there was no other way, but it looks more complicated than common templating engine conventions. I'd say it is not the best syntax, and its API is not common.
