Unfortunately, `'{d}{s}{f}'.format(3, 'foo', 3.14)` can't work as you expect it to, because it already means "display the keyword arguments named `d`, `s` and `f`. (I agree that the syntax for format() strings is exceedingly tedious) On the other hand, `'{:d}{:s}{:f}'.format(3, 'foo', 3.14)` should be possible.
