Alexander Belopolsky <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: Omitting the ordinals from {} format units will present a problem with internationalization because the arguments may need to be rendered in different order in different languages. This is a frequent problem with the % formats and it is a good thing that the new format requires explicit enumeration. If your argument list grows to the big enough size that renumbering presents a problem, you should consider using named rather than positional arguments.
This type of changes should be discussed on python-ideas list first. ---------- nosy: +belopolsky __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2599> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
