If you really want to write this, I suggest adding the following
helper function to your code somewhere::
>>> def fix_format(fmt):
... def get_index(match, indices=itertools.count()):
... return str(indices.next())
... return re.sub(r'(?<={)(?=})', get_index, fmt)
...
>>> fix_format('{} {}')
'{0} {1}'
>>> fix_format('{} {} blah {}')
'{0} {1} blah {2}'
That way, if you really want to bypass the precautions that the new
format strings try to take for you, you can do it in only four lines
of code.
