Just did a quick grep of our code base and it has some 2000 lines of code
that would need to be changed.
Why do you think this code needs to change?
I'd leave all the code as-is, and might not start using .format before
Python 3.2, unless some coding convention says I have to.
True, just wanted to know whether there is such a tool.
I personally like the %-notation a lot, mainly because it's more
or less the same as in C.
%i, %s and %r are by far the most used format characters in our code base.
Determining the position index and writing {0!s} or {0!r} instead
(which requires quite a finger dance on a German keyboard) doesn't
make .format() really attractive, IMHO.
Perhaps you're right and it's better to wait a few rounds of
refinements of .format() before jumping on that train :-)

[Python-Dev] Tool for converting %-formatting to .format()ing ?

I had mentioned it during the thread where it was shot down, but I have a Google Summer of Code project (now approved and in motion - huzza!) to add confidence ranking for 2to3 fixers. As a test for the project, I'll write a fixer for string conversion and see if having a confidence value is enough to make such a fixer useful. rbp -- Rodrigo Bernardo Pimentel [EMAIL PROTECTED] | GPG: 0x0DB14978 ___ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com

I guess our company should check out the 'preferred' way to do it real soon, or else the conversion process will be really time consuming. --dirk ___ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
