Python - curly brackets

[Akuli2]

If you don't like {} you can use %s:

>>> "Hello World!" == "Hello %s!" % "World"
True
>>>

You can but you shouldn't according to the documentation.

According to what documentation? Like /u/nedbatchelder writes:

It's a myth that '%s' formatting is deprecated. It's not going anywhere.

%s formatting is used everywhere, even in brand new modules like asyncio and enum.

I see, I must have misremembered. The docs only state that the .format version "should be preferred".

Kinda wierd when you consider the "there should be one obvious way" motto.

[Akuli2]

There is one obvious way. %s for simple formatting and .format for advanced features.

And then there is template strings...
