15.3.4 Python Format Strings

There are two kinds of format strings in Python: those acceptable to the Python built-in format operator %, labelled as ‘python-format’, and those acceptable to the format method of the ‘str’ object.

Python % format strings are described in Python Library reference / 5. Built-in Types / 5.6. Sequence Types / 5.6.2. String Formatting Operations. https://docs.python.org/2/library/stdtypes.html#string-formatting-operations.

Python brace format strings are described in PEP 3101 – Advanced String Formatting, https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3101/.
