By which Thomas means stuff like this:
print(f'if block {name[index]} and index {index}')
Notice the leading "f'". Personally I wouldn't even go that far, just:
print('if block', name[index], 'and index', index)
But there are plenty of places where f-strings are very useful.
I wouldn't replace str.format() everywhere, nor would I replace
percent encoding everywhere - but in this case, I think Thomas is
correct. Not because it's 2024 (f-strings were brought in back in
2015, so they're hardly chronologically special),
I only meant that they have been around for 9 years and are usually more
readable, so just change over already. I had some inertia over them
myself (imagine sticking with % formatting!) so I understand.
but because most of
this looks like debugging output that can take advantage of this
feature:
print(f"if block {name[index]=} {index=}")
