/What/ uses "{0}" exactly? The substring you wish to inject or the format
method? If the latter, we are aware of that!

>>> "{0} balls".format("howdy{0} {doody}{10} had {wooden}")
'howdy{0} {doody}{10} had {wooden} balls'
But then why even bother to use the format method? Seriously, if you expect
people to give a proper answer you need to not only explain the problem, but
also, supply a simplified code example.

Even if there is, why would someone offer advice from such ambiguous input?
Just because a "raw" format exists does not mean that /every/ poorly described
problem will be solved using it.
Please provide adequate info.
