For simple uses for str.format(), this makes the typing easier. Hopfully this
will help in the adoption of str.format().
For example:
'The {} is {}'.format('sky', 'blue')
You can mix and matcth auto-numbering and named replacement fields:
'The {} is {color}'.format('sky', color='blue')
But you can't mix and match auto-numbering and specified numbering:
'The {0} is {}'.format('sky', 'blue')
ValueError: cannot switch from manual field specification to automatic field numbering
Will port to 3.1.
Optimization of str.format() for cases with str, unicode, int, long,
and float arguments. This gives about 30% speed improvement for the
simplest (but most common) cases. This patch skips the __format__
dispatch, and also avoids creating an object to hold the format_spec.
Unfortunately there's a complication in 2.6 with int, long, and float
because they always expect str format_specs. So in the unicode
version of this optimization, just check for unicode objects. int,
float, long, and str can be added later, if needed.
Highlights:
- Adding PyObject_Format.
- Adding string.Format class.
- Adding __format__ for str, unicode, int, long, float, datetime.
- Adding builtin format.
- Adding ''.format and u''.format.
- str/unicode fixups for formatters.
The files in Objects/stringlib that implement PEP 3101 (stringdefs.h,
unicodedefs.h, formatter.h, string_format.h) are identical in trunk
and py3k. Any changes from here on should be made to trunk, and
changes will propogate to py3k).
