I like Manvi B's patch with many examples. It's hard to read formatting
strings, it's hard to compute the result, so full examples are just more
obvious.
I don't think that it hurts to add many formatting examples. I expect that most
users will combine the result of bin/hex/oct with another string, so suggesting
using formatting functions will probably help them to simplify the code.
For example,
print("x=", hex(x), "y=", hex(y))
can be written:
print("x=%#x y=%#x" % (x, y))
or
print("x={:#x} y={:#x}".format(x, y))
or
print(f"x={x:#x} y={y:#x}")
The first expression using hex() adds spaces after "=", but well, it's just to
give a simple example. IMHO formatting strings are more readable.
