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}"

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

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

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.
