The f"..." string is pretty new. Only the hippest of the hip (>=
Python 3.6) are using it at this point. I only recently started using
"...".format() to ease some anticipated far-in-the-future switch to
Python 3 for some of my work. It's grown on me a bit. As an old C
programmer, I've been pretty married to printf-style formatting.
