Guido van Rossum: > Peter, if you can do a prototype implementation (in Python would be > best), the idea might be received better. I believe a strawman derived from the UserString class could be done in pure Python. But I'm sorry: I've no time for this during April. I'm also not sure, whether this is really a worthwile effort and whether I should champion this idea further. From Pauls response I got the impression that people already consider the '%' string interpolation operator as a language wart rather than an elegant feature. I however often like the infix notation better. That may be a matter of taste. Imagine we would have to write: "%5d %20s %s\n".printf((num, name, adr)) instead of "%5d %20s %s\n" % (num, name, adr) I'm happy, that this is not the case in todays Python.
