A friend of mine wrote a library which does this: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/ScopeFormatter
It's super handy when doing scripting/debugging.

why we bother with '{variable}'.format(variable=variable) ? can we just '{variable}.format()' ?
variable = "Hello, World!" print('{variable}'.format_map(locals()))
if variable is exist, then assign it. if variable is not exist, then raise error
I am not language expert. so sorry if this is not a good idea, or already discussed.
As Dustin said, Explicit is Better Than Implicit; you don't want a variable to accidentally make your string formatting work by luck because you forgot to pass in an argument you meant to but just so happened to have a variable with the "right" name.
