Yeah, f-strings look really cool but most of my clients are on 3.5 so anything that I update needs to be compatible.

I agree. I'm pretty well known on here for being a Python 3 fuckboi, and 3.6 did some great things with asyncio, but when it comes down to writing modules that you want people to use, then writing it for 3.3+ is the best way to go (or at least 3.5 which has been around for a couple of years almost).

IMO i personally like the commas and + over format(). Just to me it looks so much easier to understand and makes more sense, however I am always open minded if someone cared to explain to me why .format() is better.

Not every object can be concatenated together. If you look at my first example, try doing:

Code

first_name = "Ron"
last_name = "Paul"
age = 5
print("Your name is " + first_name + " " + last_name + " and your age is " + age)

This one wont error.

Code

print("Your name is {0} {1} and your age is {2}.".format(first_name, last_name, age))

Right, but in that case you could just use commas and you wouldn't need worry about casting.

Can you map a dictionary with commas? Or a class?

Honestly one of the best features of format().

Nothing wrong with being a python 3 fuckboi, in basic terms, its literally the future of python.

No problem! Anything else you think that would be helpful?

I'm currently working on a semi-intermediate subject but I'm trying to explain it in a way that anybody should be able to understand.

I've updated it a little bit:
