Hello all,
I use the print method with % for formatting my output to
the console since I am quite familiar with printf from my
C days, and I like it quite well.
There has never been print-with-formatting in python, what we have is
the % string substitution operator, which is a string operation instead
of print operation.
I am wondering if there is a way to use print to write
formatted output to files?
Of course:
f = open(...)
open.write('%s' % foo)
or
f = open(...)
print > f, '%s' % foo
or in python 3:
f = open(...)
print('%s' % foo, file=f)
or using the new superpowerful str.format()
>>> 'foo: {0} bar: {baz:3.1f} {1:e}'.format(123, 456.789, baz = 123.456)
'foo: 123 bar: 123.5 4.567890e+02'
