I'll let the OP be the judge of that. > The OP is using Python 2, and using %-formatting, and so you give a > series of examples of using str.format, to, what? Confuse matters? I don't know why you keep raising Python 2 as though it matters. As I pointed out, everything I discussed works fine on Python 2 without any change. More to the point, *even if* they continue using ‘%’ formatting, the primary point was to use named parameters. That is relevant to Python 3 and Python 2; it is relevant to ‘%’ formatting and ‘str.format’ formatting. None of those need to change. So I encourage the OP to try using named format parameters in *any* of those, and then judge whether it is helpful. -- \ “Begin with false premises and you risk reaching false | `\ conclusions.
