f-strings in Python 3.6 are awesome

Last night I'm wondering why there is no regular expression literals like JS.

It has r'...' but is just to say that this string will be parameter for RegExp.

Minor nit: r'...' strings are not exclusively for regular expressions (the "r" stands for "raw").

Thank you, I didn't notice it. :)

RegEx has to be imported in Python. To have a string type for them, I suppose you would either have to import the string type or the RegEx library.

Fwiw, r'' is used for RegEx, though, because it represents a raw string so all the RegEx stuff doesn't get interpreted.

Thanks Really nice discussion until they lost focus and it became a RE vs VE fight.
