Hi all,
I'd really like to share this idea of string interpolation for formatting.
Let's start with some code:
>>> name = "Shrek"
>>> print( "Hi, $name$!")
Hi, Shrek!
>>> balls = 30
>>> print( "We have $balls$ balls.")
We have 30 balls
You can already do essentially that without adding a special-case string
formatting method to the general methods we already have.
>>> balls = 5
>>> people = 3
>>> 'The {people} people have {balls} balls.'.format(**locals())
'The 3 people have 5 balls.'
