To my knowledge there was i for interpolation, t for template, and e for expression suggested. Any better ideas?

I believe someone suggested !"..." as well. I still think f"..." notation is the best as long as these elements are called "format strings" in the documentation. After all, we don't call a unicode string "u-string" or bytes a "b-string". Given enough imagination someone may find not-safe-for-work associations in those abbreviations as well. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
