Hi there, I would like to construct some string objects using the cprintf-style format:
command_string = "diff -u %s %s > %s.patch" % ( src, dst, file ) Of course it is illegal in python but I couldn't figure out a way to construct strings with that kind of formatting and substitution. I have been looking and couldn't discover string constructor such as command_string = string( "diff -u %s %s > %s.patch" % ( src, dst, file ) ) From the documentation on docs.python.org, the closest is string Template (but my python installation doesn't come with this module). Any insights on initializing string in this manner? Thanks, Gilbert. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
