How are booleans formatted in Strings in Python?


I see I can't do:

"%b %b" % (True, False)

in Python. I guessed %b for b(oolean). Is there something like this?


Solution

  • >>> print "%r, %r" % (True, False)
    True, False
    

    This is not specific to boolean values - %r calls the __repr__ method on the argument. %s (for str) should also work.
