However, let me just say that recursive format specs are supported,
to a depth of 1.
width=10
f'{"test":{width}}'

I'm busy at the sprints, so I don't have a lot of time to think about this.
However, let me just say that recursive format specs are supported, to a
depth of 1.
>>> width=10
>>> f'{"test":{width}}'
'test '
So first the string is basically expanded to:
f'{"test":10}'
Then the string is fo
The syntax for formatted string literals is given here:
https://docs.python.org/3/reference/lexical_analysis.html#f-strings
If you were to examine this carefully, you would see that a format_spec (the
part within the braces but after the colon) can be empty or it can consist of
literal chara
