How can I use f-string with a variable, not with a string literal?

f”…” strings are great when interpolating expression results into a literal, but you don’t have a literal, you have a template string in a separate variable. You can use str.format() to apply values to that template: name=[“deep”,”mahesh”,”nirbhay”] user_input = “certi_{element}” # this string i ask from user for value in name: print(user_input.format(element=value)) String formatting placeholders … Read more

The specification states that they support full Python expressions* inside brackets. It’s also stated … Read more

How do I convert a string into an f-string?

f-strings are code. Not just in the safe, “of course a string literal is code” way, but in the dangerous, arbitrary-code-execution way. This is a valid f-string: f”{__import__(‘os’).system(‘install ransomware or something’)}” and it will execute arbitrary shell commands when evaluated. You’re asking how to take a string loaded from a text file and evaluate it … Read more

Multiline f-string in Python

From Style Guide for Python Code: The preferred way of wrapping long lines is by using Python’s implied line continuation inside parentheses, brackets and braces. Given this, the following would solve your problem in a PEP-8 compliant way. return ( f'{self.date} – {self.time}\n’ f’Tags: {self.tags}\n’ f’Text: {self.text}’ ) Python strings will automatically concatenate when not … Read more
