[issue6579] No update about automatic numbering of fields in format strings (e.g. 'A {} with {} buttocks')

[Eric Smith]

Eric Smith <eric at trueblade.com> added the comment:

In http://docs.python.org/3.1/library/string.html#format-string-syntax,
the auto-numbering is mentioned, in the sentence that starts "If the
numerical arg_names in a format string are 0, 1, 2, ... in sequence,
they can all be omitted".

It's true that the field_name should be optional. I'll look at fixing that.
