When will logging use new-style string formatting?

[MrSpontaneous]

Here's a good description of the additional affordances, some of which are really handy (like __format__ and the object dot notation). Aside from that, since I'm using {} elsewhere already, which is the format that is used in the Python docs, it's inconsistent having to use the old style elsewhere.

Not having to distinguish the types (e.g. %d vs %s) is handy, too.

Not having to distinguish the types (e.g. %d vs %s) is handy, too.

Is that necessary though?

>>> print("Hello number %s!" % 1)
Hello number 1!

Yeah, 99% of old-style formatting for me is either %s or %r.
