[issue27160] str.format: Silent truncation of kwargs when passing keywords containing colons

[Kenneth Lim]

Kenneth Lim added the comment:

Ah, so the truncation is fully intended behavior.

As for the name, a touch too many comic-books in the past might be the
reason I latched onto "Barry" as a first name.

Thanks for the clarification.

The behaviour is correct, it's your assumptions that aren't :)

The code for str.format only checks for what's before the colon (here, "HGNC") 
and checks if that's part of the dict provided. It isn't, so it raises a 
KeyError. It doesn't even get to the format spec part (which is a perfectly 
valid format specifier). Your dict can contain anything or be empty, str.format 
only checks for the existence of the key you asked for ("HGNC"). "{HGNC:11892}" 
is also a perfectly valid Python string.

P.S.: While I'm fine with people calling me by my last name, there's another 
developer whose name is Barry Warsaw, so let's try to avoid confusion here ;-)

Hi Barry,

I was aware of that. However, I was alluding to the KeyError produced, and
the silent truncation of the text. Rather than failing at the colon step
(SyntaxError when on run), truncated arguments pass this step, causing
errors downstream.

Emanuel Barry added the comment:

In other words, you cannot use keys containing a colon in str.format - you'll 
need to replace the colons by something else (for example an underscore, that 
works fine).
