I fail to see a problem with %. It's the primary format used throughout Django. The Django tutorial assumes some knowledge of Python, so I'd expect most newcomers would be familiar with both string formatting syntaxes.
Maybe I'm just an old curmudgeon, but I find the tutorial examples more readable and less verbose with % than rewritten with format(). ;-) On Thursday, November 1, 2018 at 5:38:47 PM UTC-4, [email protected] wrote: > > Thanks everybody for your answers. > > # Why not wait and jump directly to f-strings? > > I like f-strings a lot too, but they does not work with i18n at the > moment.
