I think you're forgetting that a lot of code (especially libraries) either have to support older versions of Python, and so cannot use f-strings at all, or was written using **locals before f-strings came along, and hasn't been touched since. Another case where f-strings don't help is when the template is dynamically generated. It may be that there will be less new code written using **locals() but I don't think that the **locals() trick will disappear any time before Python 5000. -- Steven _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
