How can you use a variable name inside a Python format specifier

Question

Is it possible to use a variable inside of a Python string formatting specifier?

I have tried:

display_width = 50
print(\'\\n{:^display_width}\'.form         


        

Answer 1

Python f-string is more flexible.

>>> display_width = 50
>>> display_content = "some text here"
>>> print(f'\n{display_content:^{display_width}}')

                  some text here
