It's brilliantly depraved. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55876683/hook-into-the-builtin-python-f-string-format-machinery >From the above: You can, but only if you write evil code that probably should never end up in production software. So let's get started! I'm not going to integrate it into your library, but I will show you how to hook into the behavior of f-strings. This is roughly how it'll work: 1. Write a function that manipulates the bytecode instructions of code objects to replace FORMAT_VALUE instructions with calls to a hook function; 2. Customize the import mechanism to make sure that the bytecode of every module and package (except standard library modules and site-packages) is modified with that function.
