<p>模运算符(%)不能做的事情,afaik:</p>
<pre><code>tu = (12,45,22222,103,6)
print '{0} {2} {1} {2} {3} {2} {4} {2}'.format(*tu)
</code></pre>
<p>结果</p>
<pre><code>12 22222 45 22222 103 22222 6 22222
</code></pre>
<p>非常有用。</p>
<p>另一点:<code>format()</code>,作为一个函数,可以在其他函数中用作参数:</p>
<pre><code>li = [12,45,78,784,2,69,1254,4785,984]
print map('the number is {}'.format,li)
print
from datetime import datetime,timedelta
once_upon_a_time = datetime(2010, 7, 1, 12, 0, 0)
delta = timedelta(days=13, hours=8, minutes=20)
gen =(once_upon_a_time +x*delta for x in xrange(20))
print '\n'.join(map('{:%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S}'.format, gen))
</code></pre>
<p>结果:</p>
<pre><code>['the number is 12', 'the number is 45', 'the number is 78', 'the number is 784', 'the number is 2', 'the number is 69', 'the number is 1254', 'the number is 4785', 'the number is 984']
