I have a list of tuples, and usually print them using:
print c, " ".join(map(str, list_of_tuples))
This is beginning to feel clunky (but gives me essentially what I want), and I
thought there was a better, more concise, way to achieve this, so I explored
the new string format and format() function:
>>> c = (1,3)
>>> s = "{0[0]}"
>>> print s.format(c)
'1'
>>> print format(c,s)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<interactive input>", line 1, in <module>
ValueError: Invalid conversion specification
I'm running *** Python 2.7.2 (default, Jun 12 2011, 15:08:59) [MSC v.1500 32
bit (Intel)] on win32. ***
(This is actually a PortablePython run on a Windows 7 machine)
Any idea why one form works and the other doesn't?
