How the following syntax can be simplified?
three='Three'
result='One-Two-%s, One-Two-%s, One-Two-%s'%(three,three,three))
Another surprise: getting KeyError: 'border' on this:
color='#262626'
style="QProgressBar{background-color: {ph:s}}".format(ph=color)
>>> three = 'Three'
>>> result = 'One-Two-{ph:s}, One-Two-{ph:s}, One-Two-{ph:s}'.format(ph=three)
>>> print result
One-Two-Three, One-Two-Three, One-Two-Three
Edit:
>>> style="QProgressBar{{background-color: {ph:s}}}".format(ph=color)
>>> print style
QProgressBar{background-color: #262626}
result = 'One-Two-{ph:s}, One-Two-{ph:s}, One-Two-{ph:s}'.format(ph=three) where three="Three"
{} is part of a format string and which {} is literal. For literal ones, you need to double it, i.e. {{}}Try new-style formatting.
You can use a dictionary expansion to do multiple variables as well.
three='Three'
result='One-Two-{x:}, One-Two-{x:}, One-Two-{x:}'.format(**{'x': three})
You can use string formatting. In your example, you would do this:
three = "Three"
result = "One-Two-{0}, One-Two-{0}, One-Two-{0}".format(three)
For the other question, change it to this:
style="QProgressBar{{background-color: {0}}}".format(color)
