[Python-Dev] converting the stdlib to str.format (original) (raw)

Please don't - not before % is actually deprecated (which I hope won't happen until Python 4, with removal of % in Python 5, in the year when I retire, i.e. 2037). Now this is news to me -- was there a discussion that changed the lifetime expectancy of str.mod? I'd always supposed it being deprecated at some point in 3.x.

The PEP doesn't specify anything, and I don't recall any discussion, either - the specific timing suggested above is merely my own hopes.

Regards, Martin
