New submission from Jan Kaliszewski <z...@chopin.edu.pl>:
As we can read in http://docs.python.org/3.1/whatsnew/3.1.html#other-
language-changes:
----
The fields in format() strings can now be automatically numbered:
>>> 'Sir {} of {}'.format('Gallahad', 'Camelot')
'Sir Gallahad of Camelot'
Formerly, the string would have required numbered fields such as: 'Sir
{0} of {1}'.
(Contributed by Eric Smith; issue 5237.)
----
But it is not mentioned in 3.2's, 3.1's and 2.7's docs about format
string syntax, e.g. in 3.1 docs we have:
http://docs.python.org/3.1/library/string.html#format-string-syntax
[Please note that also grammar for a replacement field should be
updated there ('field_name' should be in '[' ']', but I'm not sure if
it'd be enough)].
