Nice, I didn't know that one could multiply strings by negative numbers without
error.
Thanks, but today I thought that maybe there might
be a solution for getting a field of a fixed

There's also "isdecimal" and "isnumeric". They all have subtly different
meanings :-)

Why do you prefer super().format_field() over plain format()? The doc says:
"format_field() simply calls format()." So I figured I might do the same.
I am not aware of any

[the solution]
thanks, right on the spot. I had already figured out that format_field() is the
one method I need, and thanks for the str.translate method. I knew that raking
seven RE's across the same string HAD to be stupid.
Have a nice weekend!

Hi all,
I would like to modify the standard str.format() in a way that when the
input field is of type str, there is some character replacement, and the
string gets padded or truncated to the given field width. Basically like
this:
fmt = MagicString('<{s:6}>')
print(fmt.format(s='Äußerst'))
Hi Stefan,
I have now implemented a version of this, works nicely. I have a few minor
questions / remarks:

Nice, I didn't know that one could multiply strings by negative numbers without
