My Bad and Apologies , I should be fined for pasting wrong question. Actually I wanted to know if its ok to use just empty {} with .format() or use {} with values i.e {0} {1} both will give the same results anyway Example: >>> attempts =1 >>> msg2 = "Hello" >>> print "Retry attempt:{} for error:{}".format(attempts,msg2) // Empty {} Retry attempt:1 for error:Hello >>> attempts =1 >>> msg2 = "Hello" >>> print "Retry attempt:{0} for error:{1}".format(attempts,msg2) // With Values Retry attempt:1 for error:Hello >>> Regards, Ganesh -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
