Hi Team,

Just a quick suggestion, on string formatting with .format() which of the
below is better , given both give the same result .

>>> attempts = 1
>>> msg2 = "Hello"
>>> print "Retry attempt:{0} for error:{1}".format(attempts,msg2)
Retry attempt:1 for error:Hello

OR

>>> attempts = 1
>>> msg2 = "Hello"
>>> print "Retry attempt:{0} for error:{0}".format(attempts,msg2)
Retry attempt:1 for error:1
>>>


PS : This is the silly question but I wanted to know if it really makes any
difference

I am on Python 2.7 and Linux

Regards,
Ganesh
