Hi list,
I'm sorry if this has been discussed before, but I did not find any references. I've been playing abit with the new str.format function. I really like the syntax and simplicity.
However, when simply printing named variables in locals() or a class, I quite common use-case, I find it a bit too complicated with the **:
"Local variable var1 is %(var1)s" % locals()
vs
"Local variable var1 is {var1}".format(**locals())
and
"Instance variable var2 is %(var2)s" % self.__dict__
vs
"Instance variable var2 is {var2}" % **self.__dict__
Therefore I have made myself a utility funcion:
def easyformat(s, data):
try:
return s.format(**data)
except TypeError:
return s.format(**data.__dict__)
so that I can do the following:
"Local variable var1 is {var1}".format(**locals())
and
"Instance variable var2 is %(var2)s" % self
Should a function similar to this (maybe with a better name) be included included in some standard library?
