why we bother with '{variable}'.format(variable=variable) ?
can we just '{variable}.format()' ?

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.

If you don't want to repeat a name multiple times, just use
'{0}'.format(variable)



The format function doesn't (i think?) have a way to see your local
variables to look up the name.
