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

So summary of methods would be

(base) [1]~ $ cat r.py
# user is dict:
user = {'full_name': 'dict joe'}
print('{0[full_name]}'.format(user))

# user is obj:
class user:
    @property
    def full_name(self):
        return 'attr joe'


print('{0.full_name}'.format(user()))


# Wrapper for arbitray values - as dict or by attr
class Getter:
    def __init__(self, src):
        self.src = src

    def __getitem__(self, k):
        return getattr(self.src, k, 'not found: %s' % k)

    __getattr__ = __getitem__


print('{0[foo]} - {0.full_name}'.format(Getter(user())))
(base) [1]~ $ python r.py
dict joe
attr joe
not found: foo - attr joe
