[issue16432] Template strings documentation in Python 3 refers to % substitution in present tense
New submission from Andrew Gorcester:
Documentation here:
http://docs.python.org/3/library/string.html#template-strings says Instead of
the normal %-based substitutions, Templates support $-based substitutions...
I believe it is confusing to refer to %-based substitutions in a way that
implies they still exist in Python 3. It would be better to fix this to either
refer to {} substitution or to remove the reference comparing it to normal
string substitution altogether.

Georg Brandl added the comment:
Who said % substitution doesn't exist anymore in Python 3?
That said, it's certainly not wrong to replace this with {} substitution.

Andrew Gorcester added the comment: Sorry, my mistake -- I thought that %-based formatting had been deprecated and removed by now, because it wasn't documented in library/string.html . However, I still think referring to %-based formatting as normal in Python 3 is confusing to readers as it is not the preferred system. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue16432 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
