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

Is there a tool available that can convert 2.x code automagically to the .format() method syntax ?

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.

Regards, Martin
