New submission from Christine Jones <silly.english.knig...@gmail.com>:
Change to this http://docs.python.org/py3k/library/stdtypes.html as suggested by Nick Coghlan here http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/python/dev/969817 "The formatting operations described here are modelled on C's printf() syntax. They only support formatting of certain builtin types, and the use of a binary operator means that care may be needed in order to format tuples and dictionaries correctly. As the new string formatting syntax is more powerful, flexible, extensible and handles tuples and dictionaries naturally, it is recommended for new code. However, there are no current plans to deprecate printf-style formatting." ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 154283 nosy: docs@python, telephonebook priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Doc change re old and new string formatting _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14123> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
