New string formatting in Python
String interpolation is one of those features where I'm really confused about the direction the Python team wants to take. It's implicit and magic, and yet another non-obvious way to do do string formatting.<p>What's more, it's being hailed at a plus for localization <i>which it isn't</i>. Localizers should never, ever deal with string interpolation - anything past what .format() does is essentially untranslatable.
