PEP 3101 – Advanced String Formatting

An example of the ‘getitem’ syntax:
"My name is {0[name]}".format(dict(name='Fred'))
It should be noted that the use of ‘getitem’ within a format string is
much more limited than its conventional usage. In the above example, the
string ‘name’ really is the literal string ‘name’, not a variable named
‘name’. The rules for parsing an item key are very simple. If it starts
with a digit, then it is treated as a number, otherwise it is used as a
string.
Cool. I think this is a good justification for a docs patch, since
that really should be mentioned somewhere other than a historical
document.
