[Python-Dev] PEP 461 - Adding % and {} formatting to bytes (original) (raw)

I think of PEP 460 as the strict version and PEP 461 as the lenient version. I don't think it makes sense to have more variants. So please collaborate with whichever you like best. :-)

This PEP goes a but further than PEP 460 does, and hopefully spells things out in enough detail so there is no confusion as to what is meant.

Are we going down the PEP route with the various ideas? Guido, do you want one from me as well or should I not bother? While I can't answer for Guido, I will say I authored this PEP because Antoine didn't want 460 to be any more liberal than it already was. If you collect your ideas together, I'll add them to 461 as questions or discussions or however is appropriate (assuming you're willing to go that route). -- Ethan
