Hi,
I'd like to print a string with the string format method which uses
{0}, ...
Unfortunately, the string contains TeX commands which use lots of
braces. Therefore I would have to double all these braces just for the
format method which makes the string hardly readable.
Is there anything like a "raw" format string and any other means to
circumvent this?
You could use a different string formatting function, such as
percent-formatting:
"Hello, {0}, this is %s" % some_string
The {0} will be output literally, and the %s will be replaced by the
string. Braces are ignored, percent signs are significant.

Originally I had used percent-formatting
But isn't it deprecated in Python 3.X ?
Thanks,
Helmut.
Nope please see
