python string format calling a function

Question

Is there a way to format with the new format syntax a string from a function call? for example:

\"my request url was {0.get_full_path()}\".format(request)
         


        

Answer 1

Python does not directly support variable interpolation. This means that it lacks certain functionality (namely, function calling in strings) which other languages support.

So, there isn't really anything to say here other than no, you can't do that. That's just not how Python's formatting syntax works.

The best you have is this:

"my request url was {0}".format(request.get_full_path())
