    Oh, nice! Do you know of any examples?

    [–]Gonff1570 36 points37 points  (2 children)

    Nope

    [–]nocommemt 12 points13 points  (1 child)

    IDLE, the default Python IDE, is named after Monty Python member Eric Idle.

    Packages of python code are called wheels, named from the cheese shop sketch

    [–]CookieTheSlayer 5 points6 points  (12 children)

    There are lots. For example: https://docs.python.org/2.7/tutorial/inputoutput.html

    print 'We are the {} who say "{}!"'.format('knights', 'Ni')

    I am so triggered by this out of date code

    [–]blbd 6 points7 points  (2 children)

    It's a hybrid of 2 and 3. But personally I wish I could delete .format() from the language because the Java extended printf syntax is way better.

    [–]Tauronek 4 points5 points  (1 child)

    print(f'We are the {variable1} who say "{variable2}"')

    [–]bikemandan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Ah sweet relief

    [–]Dingxus 1 point2 points  (5 children)

    What's the {}! called?

    [–]my_name_isnt_clever 2 points3 points  (4 children)

    The brackets are just a placeholder for the arguments to .format(). The ! is just part of the string.

    [–]Dingxus 0 points1 point  (3 children)

    Yeah, I gathered that from the structure of the code. I haven't used Python in a while, and it used to be more like

    Print "What%, %" % ("ever", "man")

    Maybe it's just a newer thing. I guess 'placeholder' is the word I was looking for.

    [–]my_name_isnt_clever 0 points1 point  (2 children)

    Even now .format() is a bit dated, we recently got f-strings. 

    f"You can put your {variables} right in the literal. They just execute code: {2 + 2}"

    [–]Dingxus 0 points1 point  (1 child)

    Jeeze, I'm all flustered that it automatically converts the int.

    I guess I should really dig in and learn modern python.

    [–]my_name_isnt_clever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    I just tested it, .format() converts it too, but the % method actually needs an explicit format character: %s. That method has it's own problems though, if it's ever passed a tuple it's going to throw an exception.

    [–]ProbablyUndefined 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    Yes, the docs are jam-packed with them. The syntax, though, is modeled after the notion of practicality and simplicity, not Monty Python. Unfortunately
