What are your thoughts on adding a str.format_from_mapping (or similar
name, maybe the suggested "format_map") to 3.2? See
http://bugs.python.org/issue6081 . This method would be similar to
"%(foo)s %(bar)s" % d, where d is a dict (or rather any mapping object),
but of course would use str.format syntax: "{foo}
{bar}".format_from_mapping(d).
I like the idea. It's particularly handy when converting from %-formatting.
Eric.
I've updated the issue with tests, minimal docs, and a name change to
str.format_map. Having heard no objections and some support, I'll commit
this shortly.
