I don't know the current state of "percent formats" future, however, i can tell
you that it should be deprecated ASAP!
Simpleminded Sam blubbered: """ But rick, how will we format strings that
contain curly braces without the "percent format" option? We can't live without
"percent formatting", we are but simple minded folks! *sky-falling* """
Easy Sam. You allow the user to pass "opener" and "closer" chars to the format
function.
>>> "Elvis {has} <0> the {{{ building".format('left', opener='<', closer='>')
'Elvis {has} left the {{{ building'
For strings that contain all braces you could even create something unique:
>>> "(Elvis) {has} {S}0{E} the <building>".format('left', opener='{S}',
>>> closer='{E}')
'(Elvis) {has} left the <building>'
