You and I used __format__. I understand that the use of double

Double leading and trailing underscore methods are not deprecated, they

Hi Alec,
Can you put your website—http://femhub.com/textbook-python/—on your

Done, thank you so much.
I edited the textbook based on responses that I received. Based
on several inquiries we also decided to add Python 3.2 to NCLab.
