[Python-Dev] f-strings

[Chris Barker - NOAA Federal]

That's covered under "format specifiers" I think.
The PEP mentions this:
https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0498/#format-specifiers


I can see how a newbie might not realize that that means that f-strings use
the same formatting language as the .format() method, and or where to find
documentation for it.

So somewhere in the docs making that really clear, with a link to the
formatting spec documentation would be good.

Not sure where though — a PEP is not designed to be user documentation.

That specific example is not mentioned in the docs, but there other
examples of using format specifiers with f-strings.
