String formatting in Python

Question

I want to do something like String.Format(\"[{0}, {1}, {2}]\", 1, 2, 3) which returns:

[1, 2, 3]

How do I do this in Python?

Answer 1

You haven't formulated yourself very commendably, but I'll venture a guess this is what you're looking for:

foo = "Hello"
bar = "world"
baz = 2
print "%s, %s number %d" % (foo, bar, baz)
