True. Two thoughts:
1. I don't like using % formatting because it behaves differently from
.format() and f-strings. My overwhelming desire is to never use it for
this reason.
Example: {foo} will call foo's __format__ method, whereas "%s" % foo
will simply add str(foo). They are not always the same, not even for
built-in Python objects.
2. Cleaning up the formatting here without cleaning it up everywhere is
a great way to get the patch NACKed. You have in the past been fairly
reluctant to "While we're here" cleanups, so I am trying to cut back on
them.
This is why my habit for f-strings keeps trickling in: whenever I have
to rewrite any interpolation, I reach for the one that behaves most
idiomatically for Python 3. I am trying to balance that against churn
that's not in the stated goals of the patch.
In this case: I'll clean the rest of the method to match; and add a note
to the commit message that explains why. I will get around to removing
all of the f-strings, but I want to hit the clean linter baseline first
to help guide the testing for such a series. I regret the awkward
transitional period.
