Python string interpolation using dictionary and strings

Question

Given:

dict = {\"path\": \"/var/blah\"}
curr = \"1.1\"
prev = \"1.0\"

What\'s the best/shortest way to interpolate the string to generate t

Answer 1

You can try this:

data = {"path": "/var/blah",
        "curr": "1.1",
        "prev": "1.0"}

s = "path: %(path)s curr: %(curr)s prev: %(prev)s" % data
