Maybe I'm the odd man out, but I really don't care if my editor ever syntax highlights within f-strings. I don't plan on putting anything more complicated than variable names in my f-strings, and I think PEP 8 should recommend something similar.
I'd go further than "variable names", and happily include attribute access, subscripting (item access), etc, including a couple of levels of same: def __repr__(self): return f"{self.__class__.__name__}(foo={self.foo!r}, spam={self.spam!r})" But yes, I wouldn't put arbitrarily complex expressions into f-strings. Whether PEP 8 needs to explicitly say so or not, I would agree with you that it's a bad idea. ChrisA
