Last fall Larry Hastings made a suggestion for adding a way to make so-called "print-based debugging" easier with f-strings. Basically the approach is that f-strings would be able to produce the text of the expression and the value of that expression, without repeating the expression in the f-sting. No more writing f'foo={foo}, bar={bar}'. foo and bar should each only be in there once each!

My plan is to commit this change before 3.8b1. If anyone would like to discuss it at PyCon, I'll be around until about 10:30 am on Tuesday. I'll be in the CPython sprint room, and I'll be watching bpo, too.

Yes, I'd like this yesterday, please :)  Thanks! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/attachments/20190506/2491be3a/attachment.html>
