Isn't this what already happens? Seems odd to go in a different direction just avoid an implementation that already exists, even though it may not be perfect.
Perhaps it's time to deprecate the troublesome syntax?
Fortunately there's plenty of time before the next version of python to figure this out.
Since "f" strings don't exist yet, they could be handled with a different method. '{x:10}{y[name]}'.__fmt__(x=x, y=y, name=name) The string isn't altered here, which may help with error messages, and all names are supplied as keywords explicitly. But is there a migration path that would work? Cheers, Ron
