New submission from Serhiy Storchaka: string.Template doesn't allow to specify the self substitute parameter as keyword argument.
>>> import string >>> string.Template('the self is $self').substitute(self='bozo') Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: substitute() got multiple values for argument 'self' >>> string.Template('the self is $self').safe_substitute(self='bozo') Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: safe_substitute() got multiple values for argument 'self' The same issue is with string.Formatter.format: >>> string.Formatter().format('the self is {self}', self='bozo') Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: format() got multiple values for argument 'self' Proposed patch fixes these issues. ---------- components: Library (Lib) files: string_formatting_self.patch keywords: patch messages: 238132 nosy: georg.brandl, serhiy.storchaka priority: normal severity: normal stage: patch review status: open title: string.Template doesn't work with the self keyword argument type: behavior versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.4, Python 3.5 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file38497/string_formatting_self.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23671> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
