Hi, I'd like to simplify the following string formatting:
solo = 'Han Solo' jabba = 'Jabba the Hutt' print "{solo} was captured by {jabba}".format(solo=solo, jabba=jabba) # Han Solo was captured by Jabba the Hutt What I don't like here is this: "solo=solo, jabba=jabba", i.e. the same thing is repeated. In "solo=solo", the left part is a key and the right part is the value of a local variable, but it looks strange. I'd like something like this: print "{solo} was captured by {jabba}".format(locals()) # WRONG! But it doesn't work. Do you have any idea?
