Why not allow logging.Formatter to take a callable, which would in turn call thecallable with keyword arguments?Therefore, you could write: logging.Formatter("{asctime} - {name} - {level} - {msg}".format)
This is a very interesting idea.Note that one of the reasons to /at least/ support {}-strings also is that %-strings are simply too error prone in many situations. For example, if I decide to support internationalization of log format strings, and all I can use is %-strings, it's almost guaranteed that I will have bugs because a translator forgot the trailing 's'. This exactly the motivation that led to PEP 292 $-strings.
In fact, while we're at it, it would be kind of cool if I could use $- strings in log templates. Antoine's idea of accepting a callable might fit that bill nicely.
