Yes, if I wanted to pretend I was using JavaScript. A string-only formatter might cause problems with translation string / gettext type objects? On Fri, Aug 24, 2012 at 2:40 PM, Antoine Pitrou <solipsis@pitrou.net> wrote:

String only would be perfect. I only single out bytes because they are more like strings than any other type.
You can use concatenation instead of (or in addition to) formatting:
"" + "foo" 'foo' "" + b"foo" Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: Can't convert 'bytes' object to str implicitly "" + 42 Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: Can't convert 'int' object to str implicitly
