Unevaluated f-strings is a nice way to think about this functionality.
But they're not "unevaluated" in a lot of important ways. A better term might be "pre-assembled". :-)
Another use-case that comes to mind is logging. The Google Python style guide says not to use f-strings, for example, because it wants to be able to collect the unexpanded pattern strings and not waste time rendering unlogged messages: https://google.github.io/styleguide/pyguide.html#3101-logging
Thank you Stephan for this feedback. I added Logging to the draft: https://github.com/guettli/peps/blob/master/pep-9999.rst#logging
If this does solve the logging problem, it would be a killer app (but that still might not be enough, given that PEP 501 couldn't clear the bar and logging was a leading application for that PEP). Perhaps you should focus on that rather than the HTML escaping problem.
Hi Stephen, I can't solve a problem which I don't know. Logging plays no big role in my development tasks any more. I use checks, metrics and sentry. In the past logging was important for me, but this changed. But I am sure that the proposal can be used to improve logging. Regards, Thomas
