I thought it might be useful for those who don't have time to read a million posts to have a summary of what's happened in the formatting discussion. Definitely useful. Thanks for the summary! [...]
* Add a parameter which declares the type of format string:: logging.Formatter(fmt="{asctime} - {name}", format=BRACES) The API code would then switch between %-format and {}-format based on the value of that parameter. If %-formatting is to be deprecated, this could be done by first deprecating format=PERCENTS and requiring format=BRACES, and then changing the default to format=BRACES. +1. [snip] 'fmt' (which is an abbreviation for 'format') and 'format'? Maybe 'fmt' and 'style' instead?
