Changed in 3.7
  • 3.7: When formatting a number with the n type, the function sets temporarily the LC_CTYPE locale to the LC_NUMERIC locale in some cases.

'The sum of 1 + 2 is 3'
>>> "The sum of {a} + {b} is {answer}".format(answer=1+2, a=1, b=2)
'The sum of 1 + 2 is 3'
>>> "{1} expects the {0} Inquisition!".format("Spanish", "Nobody")
'Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!'
