This is a backward compatible macro to elide code in strings that should not be. * IIUC, this would only be usable in 3.6+ (so, not at all and style guide says NO) * there should be a normal functional() way to accomplish this in a backwards compatible way * formatlng() / lookup() would be more future compatible > > - Alex W. > > _______________________________________________ > Python-Dev mailing list > Python-Dev@python.org > https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev > Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/wes.turner%40gmail.com
