Vedran Čačić added the comment: Only one detail to resolve: you say "format is quite capable of handing a variable width field".
It does, but not in a really nice way. Honestly, would you really rather see "{:^{}}".format(title, width) than title.center(width) ? Nested formats are ugly, I think that's a consensus. :-) Not to mention that .center is more explicit about what's going on - that "^" is almost lost in that brace-forest. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23624> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
