I'd like to contribute with creating a lazy variant of str format method:
https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str.format
Very similar to the string_concat function:
https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/utils/translation/__init__.py#L221-L227
This allows more advanced string formatting with lazy strings. My
particular use case is urls.py where I don't want translators to get a
chance to translate regular expressions - only the actual url piece. I
ended up with:
{{{
#!div style="font-size: 80%"
Proposal:
{{{#!python
from django.utils.translation import pgettext_lazy, string_format
t = {
'mypages': pgettext_lazy('Url', 'mypages'),
'objects': pgettext_lazy('Url', 'objects')
}
urlpatterns = [
url(string_format('^{mypages}/{objects}/$', **t),
views.ObjectView.as_view(), name='objects')
]
}}}
}}}
{{{
#!div style="font-size: 80%"
With string_concat:
{{{#!python
url(string_concat('^', t['mypages'], '/', t['objects'], '/$'),
views.ObjectView.as_view(), name='objects')
}}}
}}}
If you accept the proposal I'll make a pull request. Thanks.
