Comment (by Chris Lamb):
Replying to [comment:2 Tim Graham]:
> I'm not sure why you say "Python 3-esque str.format" in the description.
`str.format()` was added in Python 2.6.
I should have used a better suffix than "esque" — it's more that Python 3
code does tend to *prefer* `str.format` over `%`-style interpolation
simply as a correlation with it being more modern/newer in general. ie. if
it's "new enough" for Python 3, it's probably going to be using
newer/nicer features. It's therefore somewhat surprising to see the
reverse, hence this proposed change.
> there's a consensus against using mandating `str.format()` usage
everwhere in Django and prohibiting the `%s` syntax.
As it happens, I would be against such a total mandate and a widespread
change *within* Django, but this is more of a user-exposed thing so a
different, separate argument IMHO.
