[Tutor] Formatting a string

[Karim]

Complete test copy & paste:

karim at Requiem4Dream:~$ python
Python 2.7.1rc1 (r271rc1:86455, Nov 16 2010, 21:53:40)
[GCC 4.4.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>> "He is {what}".format(what="{wild}")
'He is {wild}'
 >>>

I don't get the missing "."   ?!

Regards
Karim
