🔴🟡🟢 Here is a three-way comparison of the three built-in string formatting methods in Python 🐍

If you want to include the same variable(s) twice or more, then I think that the `.format` method is the most convenient method.

Take a look for yourself

did you know that you can use functions as values in a Python dictionary? 🐍

You can define the lambda function as a reference to the keys of the dictionary, and then you can pass arguments to it and evaluate it.

This can be reduced further.

Party trick to avoid the lambdas.

The funny thing is the space is the only magic here; Python is a truly object-oriented programming language, so integers have methods too. Add that * is just calling __mul__() means you can do that to any object.

Now knowing you need that space to make the parser happy?!!👴

👴 #Python wisdom for the day: you can directly call methods on integers (remember, Python is fully object-oriented; no automatic boxing needed here 😉)

Python makes it easy to create an uncompressed tar file. All you need is the `tarfile` library, which comes with Python!
