Thank you for your criticism, I'll think it over. The reason I find it readable
(-enough) is because even without knowing what format language is supported by
the temps object, you can

You’re thinking about the old % syntax, 'Hello %s!' % 'world'. The OP

Hello
Lately I have been writing a lot of list join() operations variously including
(and included in) string format() operations.
For example:
temps = [24.369, 24.550, 26.807, 27.531, 28.752]
out = 'Temperatures: {0} Celsius'.format(
', '.join('{0:.1f}'.format(t) for t in temp
