I like it - even with locals, it works well for multi-line output:
fmt = Formatter(locals()).format
print(fmt('Count: {count}'))
print(fmt('Total: {total}'))
print(fmt('Average: {avg}'))
(Hmm, the extra parentheses on print statements are annoying me
already... but I imagine I will get over it :)
Cheers,
Nick.
