Nesting is a big issue if in the embedded expression, there is another dynamic string expression. For example (the first '%' immediately preceding the first quote denotes the start of a dynamic string expression):: >>> first_name, family_name = "Peter", "Johns" >>> %"Hi $ first_name+%", $family_name$" $!" 'Hi Peter, Johns!' However, nesting is really cluttering things up and we should forbid it without loosing power: The above example can be done without nesting: >>> >>> %"Hi $ first_name$, $family_name$!" 'Hi Peter, Johns!' Can you offer an example where nesting is better or necessary? Cheers, Yingjie -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
