Are you in full control of the source string? You can escape the
braces as explained here:

https://docs.python.org/3.4/library/string.html#format-string-syntax

If you're not in full control (eg if it comes from a user's input), or
if you don't like the idea of doubling all your braces, you could
switch to percent-formatting, or some other form of interpolation. But
the easiest would be to simply escape them.
