On the other hand, consider this 3.x code snip:
print("the %s is %d" % ('sky', 'blue'))
That formatting will throw an exception, because the format
construct is restricting the format entry to be a number, which 'blue'
clearly isn't....
The following print() is better, because *any* time or *most* types
can be substituted and the 'polymorphism' of Python kicks in allowing
for that, as so:
print("the {} is {}".format('sky', 3.4))
print("the {} is {}".format('sky', 'blue'))
l=['cloudy', 'today']
print("the {} is {}".format('sky', l))
On the other hand,.... :)
kind regards,
