What I'm surprised is that this isn't supported:
"%(1)s %(2)s" % ("zero", "one", "two")
i.e. specifying the index in a sequence instead of the key into a map (maybe
I would use [1] instead of (1) though). Further, the key can't be a simple
number it seems, which makes this even more inconvenient to me.
Can anyone explain this to me?
History. See below.
Also, why isn't the 's' conversion (i.e. to a string) the default? I
personally would like to just write something like this:
"%1 is not %2" % ("zero", "one", "two")
or maybe
"%[1] is not %[2]" % ("zero", "one", "two")
In 2.6 (I believe) and 3.0:
>>> "{1} is not {2} or {0}. It is just {1}".format("zero", "one", "two")
'one is not two or zero. It is just one'
