This seems like it might be worth a brief mention in https://docs.python.org/3.9/library/stdtypes.html#str.format. > AFAICT, it will be around forever, so people still need to see some examples > of each. To allow users to see examples of each, would you suggest that we should leave the existing .format() examples as is and have more recently created examples use f-strings? I'd be okay with this, as long as there's a balance of both everywhere (particularly in the tutorial). Personally, I think that the f-string examples should be used more commonly used since they're generally more concise and readable. But, I can definitely understand the purpose of leaving the older ones around as long as they have a specific use case and are still utilized. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue38351> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
