I forgot to add the following concept:
-------------
def printf(*args, **kwds):
to = kwds.pop("to", sys.stdout)
to.write(format(*args, **kwds))
Py> printf("$p1: $p2\n", 1, 2)
1: 2
Py> printf("$p1: $p2\n", 1, 2, to=sys.stderr)
1: 2
Py> printf("$p1: $p2$to\n", 1, 2, to=sys.stderr)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
File "<stdin>", line 3, in printf
File "<stdin>", line 4, in format
File "C:\Python24\lib\string.py", line 172, in substitute
return self.pattern.sub(convert, self.template)
File "C:\Python24\lib\string.py", line 162, in convert
val = mapping[named]
KeyError: 'to'
-------------
If you're dealing with an existing template that uses the 'to' keyword, then
it is possible to fall back to using:
-------------
def printraw(*args, **kwds):
to = kwds.pop("to", sys.stdout)
for arg in args:
to.write(arg)
Py> printraw(format("$p1: $p2$to\n", 1, 2, to="There"), to=sys.stderr)
1: 2There
-------------
Cheers,
Nick.
