Guido van Rossum added the comment: Honestly, what Twisted is mostly after is a way to write code that works both with Python 2 and Python 3. They need the types I mentioned only (bytes, int, float) and not too many advanced features of .format() -- but if it's not called .format() or if the syntax is not a subset of the syntax of Python 2 format syntax, it's not very useful for them. (They would have to rewrite every protocol implementation in their tree to use something different, apparently, since .format() has proven to be the most efficient way to construct larger byte strings out of smaller pieces, in Python 2.)
