It's a syntax error because you are using the same quotes. You have:
'{0['cat']} {1} {0['dog']}'
which is parsed as:
STR '{0['
NAME cat
STR '
Hi,
I'm trying to use Python's new style string formatting with a dict and string
together.
For example, I have the following dict and string variable:
my_dict = { 'cat': 'ernie', 'dog': 'spot' }
foo = 'lorem ipsum'
If I want to just use the dict, it all works fine:
'{cat} and {do
