If I say there's something “wrong” with it (is that different from saying there's something wrong with it? I am not sure the function of the quotes you use there), I'm not aware. I haven't stated the printf-style formatting is especially prone to official deprecation. As for a clear *preference*, as presented in the Python documentation, for ‘str.format’ rather than printf-style, I'll continue to spread that implication which seems a pretty uncontroversial reading of the Python documentation. -- \ “Beware of bugs in the above code; I have only proved it | `\ correct, not tried it.” —Donald Knuth, 1977-03-29 | _o__) | Ben Finney -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
