Unpythonic way of printing variables in Python?

Question

Someone has recently demonstrated to me that we can print variables in Python like how Perl does.

Instead of:

print(\"%s, %s, %s\" % (foo, bar, baz))         


        

Answer 1

The answer is, no, the syntax for strings in Python does not include variable substitution inthe style of Perl (or Ruby, for that matter). Using … % locals() is about as slick as you are going to get.
