String Interpolation in Python: Exploring Available Tools
String interpolation allows you to create strings by inserting objects into specific places in a target string template. Python has several tools for string interpolation, including f-strings, the str.format()
method, and the modulo operator (%
). Python’s string
module also provides the Template
class, which you can use for string interpolation.
In this tutorial, you’ll:
- Learn how to use f-strings for eager string interpolation
- Perform lazy string interpolation using the
str.format()
method - Learn the basics of using the modulo operator (
%
) for string interpolation - Decide whether to use f-strings or the
str.format()
method for interpolation - Create templates for string interpolation with
string.Template
To get the most out of this tutorial, you should be familiar with Python strings, which are
