Some smaller changes made to the core Python language are:
-* The string :method:`format` method now supports automatic numbering
- of the replacement fields. This makes using :meth:`format`
- more closely resemble using ``%s`` formatting::
+* :meth:`str.format` method now supports automatic numbering of the replacement
+ fields. This makes using :meth:`str.format` more closely resemble using
+ ``%s`` formatting::
>>> '{}:{}:{}'.format(2009, 04, 'Sunday')
'2009:4:Sunday'
>>> '{}:{}:{day}'.format(2009, 4, day='Sunday')
'2009:4:Sunday'
- The auto-numbering takes the fields from left to right, so the first
- ``{...}`` specifier will use the first argument to :meth:`format`,
- the next specifier will use the next argument, and so on. You can't
- mix auto-numbering and explicit numbering -- either number all of
- your specifier fields or none of them -- but you can mix
- auto-numbering and named fields, as in the second example above.

method that returns the number of bits necessary to represent
