String Formatting

The built-in string class provides the ability to do complex variable
substitutions and value formatting via the :func:`format` method described in
:pep:`3101`. The :class:`Formatter` class in the :mod:`string` module allows
you to create and customize your own string formatting behaviors using the same
implementation as the built-in :meth:`format` method.

This function does the actual work of formatting. It is exposed as a
separate function for cases where you want to pass in a predefined
dictionary of arguments, rather than unpacking and repacking the
dictionary as individual arguments using the ``*args`` and ``**kwds``
syntax. :meth:`vformat` does the work of breaking up the format string
into character data and replacement fields. It calls the various
methods described below.

by :meth:`vformat` to break the string into either literal text, or

The values in the tuple conceptually represent a span of literal text
followed by a single replacement field. If there is no literal text

Given *field_name* as returned by :meth:`parse` (see above), convert it to

"0[name]" or "label.title". *args* and *kwargs* are as passed in to

For compound field names, these functions are only called for the first

normal attribute and indexing operations.

If the index or keyword refers to an item that does not exist, then an

Implement checking for unused arguments if desired. The arguments to this

the format string (integers for positional arguments, and strings for
named arguments), and a reference to the *args* and *kwargs* that was
passed to vformat. The set of unused args can be calculated from these
parameters. :meth:`check_unused_args` is assumed to raise an exception if
the check fails.

In less formal terms, the replacement field can start with a *field_name* that specifies
the object whose value is to be formatted and inserted
into the output instead of the replacement field.
The *field_name* is optionally followed by a *conversion* field, which is
preceded by an exclamation point ``'!'``, and a *format_spec*, which is preceded
The *field_name* is optionally followed by a *format_spec*, which is preceded
