[Python-ideas] Draft PEP on string interpolation

[Guido van Rossum]

Yeah, I think Nick meant that as a way of implementing the "formatting
mini-language" for bytes, given that bytes don't have __format__ or format.
But using %(name)s for the *syntax* in bytes was never on the table. I
think we're better off not supporting this type of string interpolation for
bytes at all.
