Remember to:

  • Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
  • Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
  • Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

There's a heap of stuff in there.

#

The format stuff is... complex and ... sometimes useful. Format strings go a long way there days, but sometimes you want to control the formatting.

i was curious about template rather than format pithink

spiral glen
#

I've never used it myself.

#

BTW, there are template strings in Python now. A related use case.

Now, something else. Maybe it's not in yet. I'll try to find the Python discussion...
