Re^5: Perl VS Python

[Anonymous Monk]

No, not like perl, it relies on % and dictionaries (hash). Ex

print "Hello %(name)s! Today is %(day)s!" % ( 'name' : 1, 'day' : 2 );

In perl that might be you might write

use Text::Sprintf::Named;
my $formatter = Text::Sprintf::Named->new(
    {fmt => "Hello %(name)s! Today is %(day)s!"}
);

$formatter->format({args => {'name' => "John", 'day' => "Thursday"}});

Huh?

In Perl you might write

printf("Hello %s! Today is %s!", 'John', 'Thursday');

At least try to make an apples to apples comparison.

Myopic much? named sprintf compared to named sprintf

print "Hello $name! Today is $day!\n"

Just trying to stay in the same fruit category as the original Python example :)
