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
The benefit of using empty {} is that you can easily add new 'fields' to the
template without having to renumber all the existing ones.
The benefit of using numbers is when you want to re-use the same value in
multiple elements of the template. Instead of declaring the value multiple
times, declare it once, and assign its numerical position to all the
elements in the template that use that value. They will all be populated
with the same value.
Personally, I always use empty {} unless point 2 above applies.
