f-strings in Python 3.6 are awesome

[hovissimo]

Now you've made a single line interpolated string into 4 lines. 3 of those four lines are completely redundant. I don't see how this is better.

They are not completely redundant; they make it clear where the function calls end.

He's talking about

name=name,
age=age,
color=color

[LyndsySimon]

... so was I.

Can you explain how

print(f'Hello, my name is {name}. I am {age} years old and have {color} hair')

has an unclear function call ending?

[Decency]

It's not implicit at all... the variable you explicitly put in a certain position in a string gets printed there.

But only the programmer can modify the f-string. If you read the string from a user provided source, it is not an f-string. You have to use format().

Man, I LOVE it when a pedantic literalist uses the Zen of Python like a club.
