With string interpolation, you don't need to do that, either.

Thanks, Carsten and Mark D. -- I'd forgotten about the use of "*" in
minimum-field-width specs and precision specs (doh). How about this:
"pi={1:.{0}f} e={2:.{0}f}".format(5, math.pi, math.e)
(result: 'pi=3.14159 e=2.71828')
Can the Python2 %-formating facility handle this without repeating the "5"
argument?
Even if it can, I stand by my original suggestion: include an example to
show that the arguments to str.format() can be used on both the left and
the right of a ":" in a replacement field.
