Nick Coghlan <ncogh...@gmail.com> added the comment: Yeah, I was thinking about this a bit more and realised that I'd rejected the "quote everything by default" approach before I had the idea of providing a custom conversion specifier to disable the implicit string conversion and quoting.
So perhaps a better alternative would be: default - str + shlex.quote !u - unquoted (i.e. normal str.format default behaviour) When you have a concise way to explicitly bypass it, making the default behaviour as safe as possible seems like a good way to go. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13238> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
