I'm thinking of allowing you to mix keywords and auto-numbering, but not manual numbering and auto-numbering. This would be so we could do: >>> '{:{fmt}} {:{fmt}}'.format(3.1415, 2.71828, fmt='1.4f') 'pi=3.1415 e=2.7183' Unfortunately the ':' is required, because if it's not there you have 2 braces next to each other, which is the escape sequence for a single brace.
