That's not necessarily true. The f-string version still needs to invoke the .format() method on the object, instead of only working for a handful of hard-coded types. I'm not saying there aren't optimization opportunities, but it may be that %-formatting is always faster. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27078> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
